I think it is time for some Debian Free Documentation Guidelines, which actually know about the special requirements for documentation (Interesting question: Is the GNU FDL DFSG free?). Currently I can think of the following issues: - invariant sections (FDL) - front/back cover texts (FDL) - modifications having to go through the author or some organisation (standards) - non-availablity of the source in the author's preferred form (standards) - patent issues on standards Basically I'd like to see documentation under the FDL (and similar licenses) and standards that are freely distributable and not encumbered by some patent in main.
