I also would like to point out the recent Debian
decision to consider the GFDL as a non-free license.
This has been debated for months on debian-legal. You
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.
There was talk about moving all FDL-content to non-free or do a
relicensing to GPL. I'm not sure whether they'll go through with that.
Heh? What is a "machine-readable expression of
freedom" and why is that an important thing to have? I
guess I'll have to do some more reading....
Machine-readable means the RDF-code embedded in the html-document. Just
look at the rdf-tags in the html-source at
creativecommons.org.
In a later stage they will make a search engine that automatically
returns results restricted to your wanted license type.
