You know, the fact that "moral rights" might in the future theoretically be an issue for free software in Europe is not an excuse for the FSF to promulgate a license that itself has already caused serious problems to people trying to build community commons free documents, like that encyclopedia. I'm simply not following your logic.
Here is the case against the FDL: - it is obviously inappropriate for software - the line between documentation and software is very blurry - eg in the debian-bug.el example, if the FDL were in use it would be to the detriment of free software another case against it: - used in the recommended fashion, by innocent people trying to build a common free encyclopedia, it has *already* caused serious problems These are telling: the FDL, if used for documentation of free software, damages the cause of free software; and when used for non-documentation documents like an encyclopedia has damaged the cause of free documents. Conclusion: the FDL is a bad license. --Barak.
