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.

Right, but we could also keep accepting non free docs under some minimal
|
|
criteria (opl a- b+) and putting them on lists.

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.
