That is more or less what I am planning to do, even though all this "you do the work and then report back" is not really encouraging. However, before moving on with this plan, I need to see whether there's consensus at least among the copyright holders that are subscribed to the debian-doc list: if one of the main co-authors objected to the licensing, any effort in contacting all the individual contributors and asking them to agree to the currently proposed licensing would be a waste of time... > > For the record, I sign up any DSFG compliant copyright notice.

I am happy to help, but only as long as other involved people act in a cooperative manner... -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/nanodocs/etch_workstation_install.html Need to read a Debian etch installation walk-through? .....................................................
