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. manoj -- Bus error -- driver executed.
