Not agreeing with you does not necessarily make people zealots. Have
you ever considered that you're a zealot too? a GFDL zealot...

So for instance, you'd have nothing against a license that only allowed
"fixing" typos in a program along these lines:
--- helloworld.c.old 2005-01-05 10:44:53 +0200
+++ helloworld.c 2005-01-05 10:45:14 +0200
@@ -3,6 +3,7 @@
int main(void)
{
printf("Hello Wolrd\n");
+ printf("Hello World\n");
return 0;
}
Because that's the only kind of "modification by patch" that the GFDL
allows for.
