As a level-headed organisation, the first somethings that FSFE will do about this situation are discuss it and analyse it. I see the potential problems, but FSF are pretty cautious, so I guess they've seen the potential problems too and have reasons why they're not so worrying or why they were worth the risk. BTW, there's a GFDL 1.3 FAQ: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3-faq.html (But it's mostly clarifications, not answers to the questions posed here.) Or is there something specific that you suggest FSFE does about licencing? For GPLv3, we worked on making the process accessible: http://fsfeurope.org/projects/gplv3/ For licence usage and enforcement, we've built a network and docs: http://fsfeurope.org/projects/ftf/ http://fsfe.org/en/fellows/ciaran/ciaran_s_free_software_notes/status_of_fsfe_s_legal_dept_ftf -- CiarĂ¡n O'Riordan, +32 477 36 44 19, http://ciaran.compsoc.com/ Support free software, join FSFE's Fellowship: http://fsfe.org Recent blog entries: http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/ciaran_s_free_software_notes/status_of_fsfe_s_legal_dept_ftf http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/ciaran_s_free_software_notes/fsfe_s_antitrust_victory_with_samba http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/ciaran_s_free_software_notes/openstreetmap_considers_new_licence http://fsfe.org/fellows/ciaran/ciaran_s_free_software_notes/why_european_software_patents_are_legally_invalid _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@fsfeurope.org https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
