[Wikipedia-l] HOWTO include GFDLed text?

[Tobias Hoevekamp]

Thanks for your replys to my initial mail (see below).
Kstars handbook http://kstars.sourceforge.net/handbook is availabe
according to the following terms:

   Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this 
   document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, 
   Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software 
   Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, 
   and with no Back-Cover Texts.

I guess, that leaves us with the most freedom desired, right? I'll
import one article of Kstars Astroinfo into Wikipedia, add a line about
where this article originates from and ask John Harris,
the author of Astroinfo, if that's OK with him. I hope, he'll answer
this time...

Bye


Tobias
