compatibility between Open Publication License and GNU GPL
Is the Open Publication License compatible with the GNU GPL?
The Open Publication License (http://opencontent.org/openpub/)
v1.0 says:
| I. REQUIREMENTS ON BOTH UNMODIFIED AND MODIFIED VERSIONS
| Any publication in standard (paper) book form shall require the
| citation of the original publisher and author. The publisher
| and author's names shall appear on all outer surfaces of the
| book. On all outer surfaces of the book the original
| publisher's name shall be as large as the title of the work and
| cited as possessive with respect to the title.
| IV. REQUIREMENTS ON MODIFIED WORKS
| 4. The location of the original unmodified document must be identified.
The above requirements seem to be incompatible with the GNU GPL.
So I wish the Debian WWW Pages to be dual-licensed under the Open
Publication License and the GNU GPL.
Any comments?
