Re: GR proposal: GFDL with no Invariant Sections is free
In the interests of completeness (sigh), I believe that a GR should be
proposed which states:
(portions copied from the GR by fabbe@debian.org -- hope he won't sue me for
copyright infringement)

The Debian Project asserts that
Works licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, version 1.2, as
published by the Free Software Foundation (GNU FDL), are free in
accordance with the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG), if and only if
(1) the work is licensed using the following options of the license:
no Invariant Sections,
no Front-Cover Texts,
no Back-Cover Texts,
(2) all copyright holders state that the requirement "You may not use
technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of
the copies you make or distribute" in section 2 is waived with respect to
copies you make and do not distribute,
(3) all copyright holders state that the requirements of paragraph 3 of
section 3 (regarding transparent and opaque copies) are waived,
and
(4) all copyright holders state that the requirements of section 4.I
(requiring preservation of an entirely arbitrary History section) are waived.
----
This amounts to what those of us who have actually bothered to take a close
look at the license agree on. I'm still in NM, so I request that some DD
propose this.
