Um, it fails section 3 (Modifications permitted) of the DFSG? A strictly literal reading of the DFSG clearly prohibits Invariant Sections. Any body claiming that the FDL (with Invariant Sections) is free is basically proposing a change in the DFSG, or at least the readings or scope thereof. I'd say the onus is on the people who want to change the status quo. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] "It's not a habit; it's cool; I feel alive.
