Precisely. Then also you have the question of how the output of
|
|
something is clearly an executable program, such as a "poetry
|
|
generator" is licensed.
|
|
|
|
I believe the distinction between software and documentation is
|
|
arbitrary at best, and complete rubbish at the extreme.
|
|
|
|
In case anyone thinks this is an irrelevance on this list, consider the
|
|
implications it has for what licenses are considered valid for LDP
|
|
purposes.
