Some people on this list have had a negative reaction
to the licensing
proposal. Sometimes this arises from different understandings of what
the new license will mean (i.e. issues of interpretation). More often
it seems the core issues are different opinions about whether the
change is desirable (i.e. issues of personal preference). For
example, if you believe the license text ought to appear alongside
every copy, then you have a personal preference for the GFDL.
The licensing update FAQ [1] has largely been written in the voice of
the Foundation. It explains what is going on, what the advantages of
the transition are, and what some of the implications are. However,
it does not generally speak for the opposition, nor does it explain
why anyone would prefer the GFDL, even though some people on this list
clearly do.
1 person on this list. The rest of the opposition comes from the
foundations unlawful and ill thought out proposed TOS.
