I've googled a lot about Debian and GFDL 1.2 but I'm a bit confused if the Debian resolution applies to GFDL 1.1 as well. It also puzzles me that GFDL 1.1 is not present in /usr/share/common-licenses/ And the proposed copyright format doesn't have GFDL-1.1 tag either (only v1.2) I'm member of the Crosswire packaging team and we are working on the new upsream release and hoping to get it into Jaunty and upload to Debian after Lenny (due to dependencies). Please help me to understand if this software with this documentation is DFSG compliant. [1] This is legal notice of the help file. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. You can find a copy of the GFDL at this link or in the file COPYING-DOCS distributed with this manual.As you can see it says 'Version 1.1 or any later version', so it can be used under GFDL 1.2 as well. So that should be fine. Andrew
Hah =D Silly me, missed such an important bit. Thanks.
