Hi, I maintain some HTML and CSS references in HTML and other formats [1]. The current usage guidelines [2] prevent inclusion of the references in the main Debian distribution, but I would like to correct this by issuing new guidelines for using the references.
I don't mind having the references freely redistributable, but I have concerns about allowing modification, as required by the DFSG (assuming that software guidelines should be applied to reference material). In the past, some people have copied the references to their Web sites and altered them to include ad banners or a company logo, which I find somewhat offensive when the content is otherwise unchanged. Altered versions have also taken our valid HTML and made it invalid HTML, which I feel is a bad example for any HTML reference. I'm looking for advice on how to overcome these concerns and allow the references to be included in the main Debian distribution.
