Has Gnu produced a doc license that is incompatible with GPL? Looks like it...but I can understand the purpose behind the GFDL. Seems like GNU needs a simple doc license a la BSD doc license to fill the gap between a formally published doc 'GFDL' and the sort of stuff in the kernel tree 'BSDish'. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
