Maybe I didn't explain myself well. When I say "track changes" what I
mean is keeping a record of what was changed. For example, if you use
OOo's tracking changes feature it shows you exactly which line was
changed by who on what date. Same for CVS and other change-tracking
software. As for "identify", the only way I know of identifying changes
is to say exactly what was changed. The PDL even gives CVS-like software
as an example of how to comply.
And I completely subscribed to what Scott explained about protecting
users/authors/documents.
I don't think you'll find anyone who says that authors or documents
shouldn't be protected. The question is whether the PDL provides any
protection, and if so, whether it's worth the drawbacks. For example,
knowing the name of the person who added chapter 12 does not protect you
against copyright infringement.
Best,
Daniel.
