|
|
In my opinion most derivative works will be collections of parts taken
|
|
from several documents (reusing existing material, for example, is
|
|
very useful in teaching); more "collection and rearrangement" than
|
|
"incremeting or updating an existing document". I don't expect
|
|
unnecessary forks to be a common disease (a common reason for
|
|
"unnecessary" documents is when two or more people/groups produce
|
|
independent documents that cover the same scope).
|
|
|
|
This clause is limiting, and I'd better leave it out from the
|
|
boilerplate license; it shows a short-sighted approach to
|
|
documentation, as it disregards forms other than "howtos for the
|
|
general public".
