But to put it simple: This is still unsettled, I think - the author never said anything about the GFDL'ed parts, and I wasn't particularly clear in stating that we think the GFDL is non-free. Therefore I think this must be looked at again after sarge, but it's one of the usual sarge-ignore RC bugs. Kind regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
