&gt; The question for the LDP to decide, the question on which I am
&gt; advocating a position, is whether the LDP will accept non-free
&gt; documentation, and put its seal of approval on non-free documentation.
We can let the non-free doc in a different place and provide 2 lists
(free and non free) as an incentive to write free replacements.
&gt; But there are some who wish to participate in the LDP, and if the
&gt; LDP says &quot;From now on we will only accept free documents&quot;, that will
&gt; be enough to convince them.
Right, but we could also keep accepting non free docs under some minimal
criteria (opl a- b+) and putting them on lists.
&gt; I think the LDP can contribute a lot more to filling the shortfall
&gt; in free documentation if it adopts this policy.
We will see what we can do ; we are still discussing what should be
done.
Once a consensus will be reached (IMHO really soon now) I will post a
sum up of the suggestions. If we all agree, we will adopt them, else we
will have to vote.
