- I would really like to see that CC is working on our license with
FSF and/or Software Freedom Law Center. At least to consult them about the conditions. Actually, I am interested to hear what do those two organizations have to say about the new conditions.
The FSF produced the GFDL. I think that disqualifies then from telling anyone else how to write a free content license.
Thank you for your constructive behaviour.
I like to think I've done what I can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GSFDL http://gplv3.fsf.org/sfdl-draft-2006-09-26.html
What did you do?
That they wrote a license that stands in court and that does what it is intended for,
The GPL? Yes they have shown an ability to write some of the better free software licenses.
of *course* disqualifies them for having a good legal and cultural view (not per se the truth, but a view) on changes in licenses.
No writing the GFDL did that. Ever read the GFDL? I mean really read it and consider what certain elements of it really mean? Consider the case where you want to give a printed copy of an article to someone.
No, we should never try to ask their opinion, because the risk they could make a valid point is too big! Brrrr
They've had years to do so and have not done so. At this point the only useful thing they can do is hand over the GFDL to CC.
