Hi, If we were to deal with all these issues on one ballot, it would have to take the form somewhat like this:
A) The delegates decision that the GFDL licensed works are non-free is wrong, the GFDL meets the DFSG. Override the delegated decision, and issue the following statement "..." B) The delegates decision that the GFDL licensed works are non-free does not hold for works without invariant sections, modify the delegated decision to allow works with no invariant sections in main, and issue the following statement "..." C) Yes, GFDL licensed works are non-free, but all such should be allowed in main anyway, since they are so important. Modify the SC, and issue the following statement "..." 3:1 D) Yes, GFDL licensed works are non-free, including those without invariant sections, but without invariant sections we should allow them in main, since the infractions are minor. Modify the SC, and issue the following statement "..." 3:1 E) The decision of the delegates was fine, issue the following position statement "..." [This is aj's proposal] F) The decision of the delegates was fine, but we need issue no position statement, since it can inflame members of the community. Take no further action. (This is tantamount to the default option, but added here for finer granularity of opinions). G) Further discussion. However, I am not in a position to hammer out and craft all these diverse ballot options -- let the proponents decide. I currently am holding the amendment to be (D), as written, and the original proposal to be (E). If there are people who seriously espouse options A, B, and C, they should offer such amendments, or even a separate GR to determine the handling of the GFDL licensed works, with or without the invariant clauses. manoj -- Microwaves frizz your heir.
