Hi,
I note that the documentation for Gnus is available under the
GFDL. Although none of the documents have any Invariant Sections
(please correct me if I missed anything), several come with
Front-Cover Texts, and with Back-Cover Texts.
Unfortunately, people on the Debian legal mailing list have
uncovered a number of other points of concern with the GFDL;
http://people.debian.org/~srivasta/Position_Statement.xhtml
summarizes the problem areas.
Would it be feasible to dual license the documentation under
the GPL and the GFDL? The way that the Debian social contract has
been modified recently, it would no longer be feasible to ship the
documentation in the main section, along with make itself, which
would be a pity.
