There are some borderline cases however. For example, man-pages-posix |
18 |
contains the following clause: "Modifications to the text are |
19 |
permitted so long as any conflicts with the standard are clearly |
20 |
marked as such in the text." which is perfectly reasonable in this |
21 |
special case, but makes it non-free if one follows the definition |
22 |
blindly. (And indeed, Debian has these man pages in "non-free" which |
23 |
is stupid, IMHO.) |

So the plan is: |
26 |
- Add GPL-1 and LGPL-2 to @GPL-COMPATIBLE |
27 |
- Add a new group "@FSF-APPROVED-OTHER" containing the following: |
28 |
Arphic |
29 |
CCPL-Attribution-2.0 |
30 |
CCPL-Attribution-ShareAlike-2.0 |
31 |
DSL |
32 |
FDL-1.1 FDL-1.2 FDL-1.3 |
33 |
FreeArt |
34 |
GPL-1 GPL-2 GPL-3 |
35 |
OFL-1.1 |
36 |
OPL |
37 |
|
38 |
If there are no objections, I'll commit this in the next days. |
