I think this is quite off-topic. LDP has no monopoly at all and anybody
|
||
can write anything without considering us.
|
||
|
||
BUT. I think most HOWTO authors did largely benefit of the others work,
|
||
it's there very difficult to know what is an "original" work, and in
|
||
addition, it's nearly impossible to make money of a small paper
|
||
(eventually, publish it as an article).
|
||
|
||
on the other side, there are great drawbacks having to deal with
|
||
restrictive licences.
|
||
|
||
I think than this discussion must seem academic to most HOWTO writers who
|
||
don't know at all what kind of licence they may use if any.
