Hi Debian legal people, I maintan a KDE application, so I have the pleasure of dealing with some GFDL data. Fortunately, the upstream author decided to relicense his work under a dual GFDL/BSDDL license, so it can be included in Debian. However, he is not certain about the wording, so I come here to ask your opinion on the subject.
According to his mail, -----8<---------------------8<------------------------------ the documentation will include the GFDL notice, followed by: -------------------- The author of this documentation has also granted you permission to use the content under the terms of the FreeBSD Documentation License (BSDDL), if you so choose. If you wish to allow use of your version of this content only under the terms of the BSDDL, and not to allow others to use your version of this file under the terms of the GFDL, indicate your decision by deleting the GFDL notice and and replacing it with the notice and other provisions required by the GPL. If you do not delete the GFDL notice above, a recipient may use your version of this file under the terms of either the GFDL or the BSDDL. -------------------- The text of the BSD doc license is included as a link. Will that be sufficient for Debian? Or do you have other wording to suggest? -----8<---------------------8<------------------------------ Yes, I know there is a "GPL" in the middle, I already suggested to replace it by "BSDDL". Any other thing that would need to be modified ? I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC me.
