Regarding the results of the survey on this issue, almost everyone on that list agrees on the fact a document with invariant sections cannot be considered as free. Furthermore, a large majority thinks that no GFDL'ed document can be considered at suitable for Debian main. However, several developers believe we should have different rules for documentation. It is not likely to happen before a long time, as it requires changing the social contract, and they will encounter strong opposition. No decision has been made yet, but it is quite likely that after the sarge release (which will include GFDL'ed documents as stated by the Release Manager), some or all documents under the GFDL are removed from our distribution and moved to non-free. > We won't try to go beyond that until after GPL 3 is ready--and > we're not making much progress on GPL 3 due to lack of manpower. As for GPL 3, do you intend to use clauses similar to invariant sections or to the technical measures stuff in GFDL section 2? This is a matter of concern on this list. Regards, -- .''`.
