<title>DFSG analysis of default LDP license</title>
<para>
Since many of the mini-HOWTOs are under the default LDP license, Branden
Robinson subjected the default LDP license to a Debian Free Software
Guidelines <ulink
url="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200305/msg00282.html">analysis</ulink>
and proposed several changes to it. People further discussed the license
and the changes on the <ulink
url="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/">debian-legal mailing
list</ulink>.
