Bug#192965: ITP: doc-linux-nonfree -- Linux HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs (non-free)

[Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-05-11
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : doc-linux-nonfree
  Version         : 2003.05-1
  Upstream Author : Various LDP authors
* URL             : http://en.tldp.org/
* License         : Various, distributable but non-DFSG-free
  Description     : Linux HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs (non-free)

I'm preparing a non-free branch of the doc-linux packages, which I
currently maintain. It has been noted in the past that the licences on a
number of documents from the Linux Documentation Project are not
DFSG-free: typically these disallow commercial use, modification, or
both. The doc-linux-nonfree-html and doc-linux-nonfree-text binary
packages will contain these documents, and the existing doc-linux-html
and doc-linux-text binary packages will contain only DFSG-free
documents.

The copyright files of both the free and the non-free packages will be
automatically generated from a directory of licences found during the
licence audit I've recently completed.

Cheers,
