It seems to me that there an awful lot of potential *practical* problems with invariant sections in documents. They may contain outdated, narrow, or even dangerous advice or code examples. For example: code fragments written against obsolete APIs in other packages, scripts which work with standard dev but not with udev, or insecure methods of temp file creation. I would hope that we could prevent such problems by defining general invariant sections to be non-free. Debian could reasonably make *specific* exceptions, e.g. for a concise reference to the license and/or copyright holder(s). --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
