Shorter summary second. :)
This is what I'm planning on adding to the Author Guide. Can you please
tell me if it is an accurate summary of what you said? (Please excuse my
docbook tags.)
<title>Debian-compatible licenses</title>
<para>The Debian package maintainer for LDP documents has divided the LDP documents into
those with <quote>free</quote> licenses and those <quote>non-free</quote> licenses. For a
summary of this list, please read <ulink url="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">Debian Social
Contract</ulink>. The <ulink url="http://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/byname">License Summary</ulink>
is not used as sole qualifier on whether or not documents are accepted to
the <quote>free</quote> package. Currently all documents using Artistic License, BSD License and the GNU General Public
License are automatically added to the <quote>free</quote> package. The LDP will also accept these licenses, although they are not the preferred license.</para>
<para>Any other license used for documentation will be considered
on a per-document basis by the Debian package maintainer. For
example: the GNU FDL is listed as a <quote>non-free</quote>
license in the summary of licenses, however, it is not
automatically excluded from the <quote>free</quote> package.
An unofficial, but detailed, description of how the process
really works is described at <ulink
url="http://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq.html">DFSG and
Software License FAQ</ulink>.</para>
<para>The Review Coordinator will ensure you understand the
implications of the license you are choosing. If there is any
confusion, and it is important to you that your document be
included in Debian's <quote>free</quote> documentation package
(as opposed to <quote>non-free</quote>), the LDP will contact the
Debian team on your behalf to confirm which package your document
will be included in.</para>
</warning>
Suggestions on the wording are welcome.
Thank you for your attention to detail Colin. I'm sure Rick will have some
follow-up questions. ;)
