We do use the GNU FDL. If you want to raise an issue about ''what'' we must do in order to be ''100%'' in compliance with the license, feel free to do so--but not by editing this article. The mailing list, perhaps. I have, ugh, simply not found the time (which I should have done long ago) to make the few piddling changes that need to be made. Please don't be petty about this; try to be charitable. --[[LMS]] |

I think that there are differences between the GNU FDL licenses and licenses proposed by the Open Content org which you mentioned. I fear this is going to be confused and will lead to such a confusion like freeware, shareware and public domain programs. Open Content license is in my opinion much more restrictive than GNU FDL. Open Content is one of many attempts to make content more open. But using open content as a synonym for this process would be misleading because the license itself is more restrictive. --StefanRybo
