Suggestion to maintainers of GFDL docs
Consider this a suggestion to maintainers of packages that contain
documentation that are under the GFDL, especially if it contains
invariant sections. Imagine if an Emacs user visited Info and saw this:
* Menu:
* Distrib:: How to get the latest Emacs distribution.
* Copying:: The GNU General Public License gives you permission
to redistribute GNU Emacs on certain terms;
it also explains that there is no warranty.
* GNU Free Documentation License:: The license for this documentation.
* Why you shouldn't use the GFDL:: Debian doesn't recommend using this license.
And what if this new section listing reasons _not_ to use this license
were made... invariant!
If the FSF wants to give redistributors a soapbox, perhaps we should use
it.
