Hello,
I don't think we should &quot;favor&quot; any license/copyright. We should only have
a set of conditions that any document that is part of the LDP must meet.
Beyond that any author should be free to do what he/she/it wishes in
regards to their document.

&gt; &gt; Personally I still think it is stupid that we allow LICENSING of
&gt; &gt; documentation. The GPL is not a documentation license. People have
&gt; &gt; stated that it will work for documentation, this may be true but it is
&gt; &gt; still a little backwards..
&gt;
&gt; We asked RMS to write a DGPL, it will be ready in a near future.
&gt;
&gt; I think we should prefer it to any other license.
&gt;
&gt; However, each author would be free to choose any other license, we could
&gt; just recommand DGPL.
