... 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.
