<h2>Relicensing Continues</h2>
We continue to receive document updates that include a relicensing in response to
Debian packaging issues. Much of the LDP will likely be removed from the base Debian
distribution if they are not licensed under a Free license. Almost all the
new documents are using the GFDL, so hopefully licensing issues will be behind
us soon.
<h2>Get the LDPWN by Mail</h2>
For all of you who read the Linux Weekly News Updates about the LDP,
you can now get them via email. Just send an email to
<a href="mailto:news-subscribe@linuxdoc.org">news-subscribe@linuxdoc.org</a>.
The list is low traffic.
