If the contract is on the inbound traffic, this is not a problem:
|
|
Those docs in the collection prior to installing the contract-gate did
|
|
not sign any contract so they cannot be bound by it. For outbound
|
|
docs, the "warrantee of freedoms" doc can include a "grandfathering
|
|
clause" to follow the "all docs grant permissions X, Y Z" with a (b)
|
|
clause stating that docs older than such and such a date are not
|
|
guaranteed to be compliant.
|
|
|
|
On the question of modifications, there is no conflict with the LDP if
|
|
modification is forbidden: If a doc has mod restrictions, we do not
|
|
touch it. Simple as that. Like any reference library, we accept it
|
|
graciously, add it to the archive, and forget about it: We can't
|
|
change it, 'nuff said. The doc *might* die of loneliness, but because
|
|
there is no _exclusivity_ clause in our contracts with the authors, we
|
|
are always free to replace it (or compliment it) with a second,
|
|
independent doc should the need and opportunity arise.
|
|
|
|
Unless disk space is at a premium, having unrevised 'old' docs can be
|
|
an advantage: A new 'innd' doc is not likely to focus much on uucp,
|
|
but I might have an application which needs the state-of-the-art at
|
|
some past date. The best solution would be CVS revisions (btw- when
|
|
is a doc revision tagged?) or an XML database (yeah, dream on!), but
|
|
the good old "just keep the old edition" works for public libraries
|
|
and should work for us as well.
