> FMI, why is GNU GPL not applicable to the manual?
While I would have long to say, here, I rather censor myself, mostly.
I sometimes happen to think that the GDFL happened not so long after
Richard Stallman and I had a harsh and long dispute about the GNU tar
manual. In short, I wanted to publish it, Richard wanted that I refrain
from doing so: he expected the manual to be a source of FSF revenue.
The GDFL wording opens the door to Richard's restrictions, while the
GPL, which I used, is more in the spirit of the remainder of the FSF.
GNU tar has it own set of technical difficulties, and I hope I've been
able to put it back on track so it became maintainable again. But in
many non-technical ways, GNU tar has been an administrative nightmare.
François
