While interesting to read, what you've written is not applicable to the issue of moving code from program to manual or vice versa. If I submit a new emacs-mode to the FSF, and assign copyright to them as is their practice, they can have somebody else document it line-by-line and distribute it under the GFDL.
Indeed, this has happened with code assigned to the FSF with an understanding that it would only be distributed under GPL-like licenses. -Brian -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
