<h2>Debian Licensing Update</h2>
<p>We have had some indications from Debian that at least one version of the LDP
License will be considered Free and so will remain part of core Debian.
This is good news for all of us.
However, I am still asking all authors to relicense to GFDL or OPL to make sure
we are safe.
<p>We've received many document updates in response to my request for relicensing.
If you have not heard, despite the crazy Slashdot flamewar, I'm trying to get all
LDP documents under the GFDL or OPL to ensure they will remain part of the core
Debian distribution. Thanks to all the authors who have updated their documents
after my initial request.
<p>To clarify one issue I've received mail about, the LDP will not be dropping
any documents that are not relicensed. LDP policy continues to be that a document
must be freely redistributable for any purpose, commercial or noncommercial.
However, LDP policy does not require that you permit derivative versions.
That said, I have a strong personal preference for derivative versions.
We have had problems in the past with documents that were not modifiable that
had to be rewritten or dropped because the author no longer maintained it
and we could not contact him. Please don't let this happen to your document.
If you maintain a HOWTO on the LDP, please consider it your responsibility to
either maintain it, or if you cannot, to pass it on to someone else who will.
