|

Yes, you are right. I misunderstood the second comment. I'm sorry for
|
|
the extra confusion I brought in.
|
|
|
|
More to the subject matter, I wrote:
|
|

|
|
|
|
You replied:

|
|
> free stuff, it was created to create free documentation.
|
|
|
|
Yes, you are right. But I think libre documentation makes no sense for
|
|
non-libre software. If we support that, we'll be a free(gratis)
|
|
advertising forum for developers of non-libre software. That's bad.
|
|
|
|
If someone contributes software to the community, the community may
|
|
contribute back documentation. That's fine. If someone doesn't
|
|
contribute to the community, the community is not expected to
|
|
contribute back.
|
|
|
|
Please note that I'm not against helping people in their problems,
|
|
independently of the freeness of the relevant packages. It's the LDP,
|
|
as an organization, that should not promote non-free software by
|
|
endorsing the documenting task.
