Re: Summary: Is Open Publication License v1.0 compatible?, was Re: GPL+ for docs
Hi.
I normally don't read this list (so don't shout at me if I'm dumb ;)
but as an affected maintainer I have read the interpretation
of this licence and have a question.

ok, I understand that.

Hmm, a question about this: Wouldn't make this the GPL DFSG-nonfree? It states
"You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
that you changed the files and the date of any change."
Or does this not imply that I have to give my name, too? Have I only to
state the fact _that_ I changed the files?
TIA,
