A while ago, they issued a specific ruling that GFDL /was/ free without invariant sections (http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001#outcome). > My stance, now, is that the GFDL is sub-optimal, but in the scope of > gNewSense, there isn't any doubt as to if it's Free. I basically agree. But the reason I was suggesting switching to CC-BY-SA is because the Ubuntu doc wiki will still use that license (c. 1 month from now). It's best to use as much of their content as we can without sacrificing freedom. I understand CC-BY-SA isn't necessary the ideal doc license, but it is free and can soon give us access to the Ubuntu wiki, which is definitely desirable.
