Bonjour

Pas besoin d'aide juridique, les lois sont claires... par défaut un
auteur retiens tous les droits, donc ces documents sont à exclure
Les documents dont les auteurs sont injoignable ne peuvent être
changés de license, donc a exclure aussi.

La GPL est peu adaptée à la documentation - pourquoi d'ailleurs la
GFDL a été écrite. Mais si 99% des documents sont sous cette license,
ça peut être logique de faire avec

Suggestion :
  - lister les documents "suspects" (auteur inconnu/injoignable)
  - demander aux auteurs joignables de changer de license pour la 
license retenue
  - reécrire les documents "suspects"

Pas facile quand même...

translation:

no need for juridical help, the laws are clear... by default an autgor 
have all the rights, so documents with unreachable authors have to be 
excluded, the licence can be changed, even if there is none. So 
documents have to be kept unmodifiables

GPL is not well fitted for documentation, so the GFDL, but we could 
cope with if necessary

and Guilhem say it's necessary to re-write the unmodifiable documents


in fact, previous Manifesto said only:

"Anyone may copy and distribute (sell or give away) LDP documents"

nothing about modifying.

hence my proposal of making the page read only and adding a discussion 
page, we could add to the howto on the mirrors.
