[edit] Nice job

Really helpful, this. Glad I came across it (I know most of this stuff but could never manage to write it all up so cogently). ~ Riana ⁂ 04:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I'd heard about this but never fully read it before. Very clear and helpful guidance. Carcharoth 12:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Licenses other than GFDL

I just made bold edits to include free licenses other than GFDL, because many publishers of free content, such as myself, do not support the GNU license, because we believe it is too limiting. For example, I publish all my work under an Attribution license, meaning that I copyright my work, but you may use if for any purpose, as if it was public domain, as long as you attribute me. GFDL limits users with its exclusions of front and back cover texts, invariant sections, burdens when printing, etc. Even the GNU GPL does, because the GPL terms require that all modified versions must in turn be licensed under the GPL and, whilst the GPL does allow commercial sale of anything licensed under the GPL, it effectively fixes the price at zero since the purchasers may redistribute for free.
