While such a document may be interesting and useful, I'd discourage
|
|
the author from associating it with any org as a first stel, if for no
|
|
other reason than for their own piece of mind.
|
|
|
|
If it is too liberal for the FSF or too strict for the OSI, they're
|
|
inviting friction by presenting it here --- this is not to say it
|
|
won't be a good article, but experience shows it will need to be a
|
|
very superior and sensitive piece of sparkling journalism, otherwise
|
|
it will spark endless debate and never get through the first
|
|
revisions.
|
|
|
|
It's an important topic, but probably better put into a few eZine
|
|
articles first so the author can gain some feedback and skills in
|
|
diplomacy, then work that into a killer doc on the subject. If it
|
|
survives SlashDot, then maybe it's worth keeping.
|
|
|
|
Politics and religion: It should _not_ be our policy to reject such
|
|
papers on principle if they relate to important Linux concepts, but
|
|
the authors should realize they are inviting a flame war. It's in
|
|
everyone's interest for them to first hone their arguments very
|
|
carefully before they pump them into CDs all over the world.
|
|
|
|
Last year we tried to commission a chapter on Open Source licenses,
|
|
and by the time we were through, it was a book project with a lawyer
|
|
and a developer collaborating on the content.
