I also would like to point out the recent Debian decision to consider the GFDL as a non-free license.
Side note: They only consider GFDLd text to be "non-free" when "Invariant Sections", "Cover Texts", "Acknowledgements", and/or "Dedications" (all GFDL options) are used. We don't use any of those so our text is free content.
But anybody can add Invariant Sections. So if GNU FDL with Invariant Sections is not free, then GNU FDL without them is not copyleft.
I think it would be a confusing thing to create a licensing difference between the Wikipedia Encyclopedia and the Wikimedia Textbook Project now.
Amen to that!
Actually, I suspect that most contributors don't care. I think that you and I, mav, are capable of understanding them. ^_^
The discussion between FSF and Creative Commons and some other license authors can, and probably will, be time consuming. I don't think the Textbook Project needs to wait for a solution in order to advance.
Yep - I completely agree.
I agree as well.
