Hi Sophie. I think you are referring to this section:
<snip>
[Requirements:]
Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to
it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher
of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no
section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the
title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its
Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated
in the previous sentence.
</snip>
This is not tracking changes. All you need to do is say that you
modified the document (title, year, new authors and publisher). You are
not required to state what you changed. It would look like this:
HISTORY
My Document - 2004-03-21 - Daniel Carrera - My Publisher
My Document - 2004-03-28 - Sophie Gautier - My Publisher
My Document - 2004-04-01 - Jean H. Weber - My Publisher
This requirement is only slightly annoying. It doesn't have any of the
problems I described for the PDL one.
PDL says identify instead of describing... But this not the topic of the
discussion here, that was your assertion that changes are never tracked
(and other licence like that for documentation exists, see the ACDL or
OPL too that are recognized as FSF free documentation licences).
And I completely subscribed to what Scott explained about protecting
users/authors/documents.
Kind regards
Sophie
