If Debian decides that the Gnu Free Doc License is not free then I will be honored to join Stallman and the FSF in the not free section of your distro
I find it unspeakably ingrateful to Stallman that some of you begrudge
him his right to express his (discomforting to some) views to all who
use his software, and to ensure that they are not removed by those suits
who are discomforted.
As far as I am concerned, I have no desire to have ReiserFS distributed
for free by anyone who removes the GNU manifesto or similar expressions
from Stallman's work (or my own) and redistributes it. It is simply a
matter of respect that is due the author.
ReiserFS will be converting to the Gnu Free Doc License for its
documentation.
I look forward to the release of GPL V3 which will hopefully cover fair
crediting of code as well as documentation, and stem this rising tide of
plagiarism and political bowlderization by distros.
I will be happy to work with the FSF in recruiting other software
authors to this task of stemming plagiarism and political bowlderization
by distros before it becomes a bigger problem than it is now.
Hans
