Hi everyone, A discussion on this list about a month ago spawned several documents about programming best practices, which I have been calling the "DNG Software Guide", even though it's absolutely not sponsored or even approved by Devuan.
With the latest version at http://troubleshooters.com/linux/presentations/golug_software_guide_20210901.tgz , it's mature enough to get a license and Git distribution. This email is about the license. If this were software, I'd probably vote for an extremely permissive license like the license of Expat ( https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:Expat ). However, this is documentation, and I'm a little afraid that people with insufficient knowledge, or with political agendas, will water it down with bullshit. Only skilled people can modify source code, but any fool can modify documentation. Because of https://people.debian.org/~srivasta/Position_Statement.html , I think the GFDL would be a bad choice. I've been thinking of this for weeks now, and I'm stumped. What license should we apply in order for this to be free and open information, and yet to the degree possible, limit contamination by the uninformed or the malicious?
