This isn't about documentation specifically, please don't confuse the bug report.

Well, to be fair, it's also very wrong of the FSF to persist in bundling two completely unrelated things (technical documentation on the one hand and political manifestos on the other) in one and the same document while making it illegal to separate the two. For that, it *deserves* to be thrown into a dustbin IMO.

This would then allow not just searching on GFDL, but on *any* license, also in main, which might be good for other reasons. This would require significant code changes however, and so is beyond the scope of what I'm trying to accomplish here. -- It is easy to love a country that is famous for chocolate and beer -- Barack Obama, speaking in Brussels, Belgium, 2014-03-26 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
