Sorry to hear that :(

Well, if you take the GFDL *literally* (and I guess that's how a lawyer wil=
l=20
take it), nobody can put that stuff in a DRM-protected hard-disk, in a=20
encrypted file-system, or in a 700-permission directory.

Sure, and that means boring work for me and less documentation for users :(

Well, every bit is important and having thousands of documents with differe=
nt=20
license policies from each contributor sounds like a nightmare.

We have tried for years to have the FSF fixing these issues in the GFDL (an=
d=20
we're still working on that), because we knew trying to get any big project=
=20
to change the documentation license was going to be hard (mainly because=20
"missing in action" documentation writers).

Best regards
