&gt;Yet there is a restriction on commercial reprint.
&gt;Harmless for the LDP; but not free. We shouldn't restrain people from
&gt;making money with free software !
It is not free software. It is documentation. We should not hinder the
ability for an author to make money from &quot;free&quot; documentation.
I really don't want to get into a what &quot;free&quot; really means debate. I do
feel strongly that we should give the authors the ability to
choose their own licenses.
If they want to set it up so that a publisher can not re-print without
permission and or compensation, more power to them. If they want to place
it under the GFDL, more power to them.

&gt;(BTW read your excellent resonse to kuro5hin article; I agree at 80% :-)

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using &quot;1970s technology,&quot;
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
