I brought the exact same point to this list which has
spawned all these new threads. Any author who tries
to control his document using restrictive licenses
that do not allow modifications are definitely
affecting the visibility and availability of their
documents.
I would prefer those concerned with protecting such
authors work and that includes Emma, look into the LDP
logo proposal and let me know their opinions on it
