Unless they can add some new argument as to why a manual under an FDL-1.2 adware licence actually follows the DFSG, simply writing here will not change much. The advice in autoconf.html in autoconf_2.59a-8.diff.gz looks like bad advice to me. It would be far more useful for them to ask the licensors of the manuals to use free software licences (preferably the same as the software it documents) or at least dual-license, so that the manuals can be included in free software operating system distributions. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only: see http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Please follow http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
