&gt; Here is what it now says in our &quot;Boilerplate License&quot;:
&gt; Except for translations, send a copy to the previous
&gt; maintainer's url as shown in the latest version.
&gt; This is not much of a burden. If the email is wrong, you've still
&gt; complied with the requirement. If there is no url for the maintainer
&gt; (unlikely) you have nothing to do.
If you are looking at this question only in terms of the amount
of work involved, then I see why you think this is reasonable.
It is not a large amount of work. But it is wrong to put
one developer of one version in a special position this way.
For the sake of enabling cooperation between the LDP and the GNU
project, I ask the LDP to remove this from the license recommendation.
