No. There are other issues with the GFDL, of the more common "This license has a bug" variety that we get with lots of new licenses. Those apply to every work licensed under it, and also need to be fixed for the GFDL to be DFSG-free. There's no real reason why they shouldn't be (resulting in a license that behaves how you describe), except that RMS decided that he wouldn't discuss the license with people who don't accept invariant sections as being free, so getting anything done about the other problems has proven difficult. http://people.debian.org/~srivasta/Position_Statement.html provides a decent summary of the issues. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
