There is an advocacy HOWTO but it deals simply with promoting Linux as a
|
|
good and useful OS. I can't see many people who want to make use of LDP
|
|
resources objecting to that.
|
|
|
|
I *can* see people objecting to what you propose and that could cause real
|
|
problems for the LDP. I don't think the LDP should be associated with any
|
|
political line beyond "We think Linux is a good thing and here is some free
|
|
documentation for it (which we also think is a good thing)." There's a big
|
|
difference between releasing documentation under the LDP license, which is
|
|
an expression of a personal decision, and telling other people what they
|
|
should be doing. IIRC, the Advocacy HOWTO makes similar points.
|
|
|
|
As things stand, the only non-technical HOWTOs are the "humorous" ones and I
|
|
think that's how it should stay, really.
|
|
|
|
It's not that I object to your principles, just that I don't feel that this
|
|
is the right venue for that kind of campaign.

If the universe were simple enough to be understood, we would be too
|
|
simple to understand it.
