Which non-free documentation specifically? The GFDL has this invariant sections concept which prevents us from modifying the doc, so you can not e.g. fork a software and rename/update doc in the invariant sections. However I wouldn't mind having modifiable documentation in a format which isn't the ultimate source but is maintainable, e.g. html format if that's maintainable over time, even if originally it was built from docbook and we don't have the docbook source. IOW, I don't mind with picking up autogenerated contents to include in Debian if we can maintain it in this form. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
