The first discussion draft of the GNU Free Documentation License version 2 was released on 2006 September 26, along with a draft of the new GNU Simpler Free Documentation License. The new draft of the GNU FDL includes a number of improvements, such as:
* New terms crafted during the GPLv3 process to improve internationalization * Clarifications to help people applying the license to audio and video * Relaxed requirements for using an excerpt from a work
