I don't think you've put any points forward. All you've done is shot down what I've said. (1) Your license is wrong, go look at debian-legal. (2) the posts you've found are wrong. If you want to be helpful to someone I recommend suggesting what you think IS the right thing to do, and back up your explanation with URLs of what is the Debian concensus. At this point I have put in well over 50 hours working on this *single* document. I have also put in an additional 5-10 hours doing research on why the 2.4.21 kernel does not behave the same way as the 2.4.20 kernel when it comes to APIC options and make-kpkg. I don't actually care about kernel development (although I'm very glad that others do), I just want my laptop to work--which it now does. I wrote the documentation for myself and have offered it to the open source community as a "here you might find this useful" kind of document. I was then asked by one debian user to contribute my documentation to The LDP. The submission process involved doing a re-write of my original text and converting the document from valid XHTML to DocBook, a markup language that I have learned for this project. I'm now working on revising the LDP XSLT templates (and possibly DocBook templates from a debian package) to correct the HTML output so that my document will validate when it is translated BACK to HTML. I certainly was not expecting to have people tell me that the license is wrong and therefore my work seems to suddenly have no use to the debian community. If I sound a little pissed off it's because I am. *many more irritated remarks deleted* This is *not* the way to keep volunteers motivated.
