Hi Karl,

Please remember the last gnu-prog-discuss "leak" wrt Thomas Bushnell and do not copy messages from private mailing lists :)

Afaicr the final word was "let's see what the current situation actually is" - and given the result, "let's contact the project admins".

We'll update the documentation and project reviews are already taking that into account, but we have a bit of backlog right now so since there's no need to hurry right now, this will probably wait a bit.

In looking at the new project registration page (https://savannah.gnu.org/register/), there is a paragraph about the software license having to be compatible with the GPL.

Per rms, there should be a similar paragraph about the documentation having to be compatible with the "current version of the GFDL or later".  Ok?

Here's what he wrote (to savannah-hackers-private originally, I think):

> We need not bother the existing non-GNU packages with GPL'd manuals.
> What we need to do is make sure there will not be any additional
> ones in the future.  This means, first of all, putting a clear statement
> in the policies so that new projects will know that manuals must have
> licenses compatible with "GFDL version N or later".



Thanks,
karl
