Re: Compatibility between CC licenses and the GPL

[Brian Thomas Sniffen <bts@alum.mit.edu>]

While interesting to read, what you've written is not applicable to
the issue of moving code from program to manual or vice versa.  If I
submit a new emacs-mode to the FSF, and assign copyright to them as is
their practice, they can have somebody else document it line-by-line
and distribute it under the GFDL.

Indeed, this has happened with code assigned to the FSF with an
understanding that it would only be distributed under GPL-like
licenses.
