This requires defining a free license, however:
-- Does requiring attribution (like old-style BSD) make the license
non-free? Richard Stallman seems to think so, from what I can gather
from
gnu.org.
-- Does permitting only verbatim redistribution make the license
non-free? Many people (including myself) would argue so.
If we're going to allow things other than GFDL and public domain, we'll
have to come up with a set of free software guidelines, much as Debian
has done (either that, or agree to adopt one of the existing sets,
either Debian's, or the FSF's, or some other one).
