# To subscribers of the xforms list from Peter S Galbraith <GalbraithP@dfo-mpo.gc.ca> :
Hi all,
I don't suppose there's any news on the documentation front?
I noticed that the license to the PostScript file is:
No part of this document may be reproduced, in any form or by any means,
without permission from the authors. Permission to produce hardcopies in
its entirety for private use is granted.
Technically, no permission is given for distribution. While I don't
think T.C. will sue Debian for distributing it, I'll be happy to see that
issue resolved with the next release. I probably won't let the current
binary-only package be released with Debian's next release, whenever
that will be. But hopefully you'll have released a free version before
then and continuity won't be lost in the package availability.
I might also suggest using either:
- Open Publication License, without options. Using the options make it
non-free. http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/
- GNU Free Documentation License, without Invariant Sections and without
Cover Texts. If an invariant section are technical or the cover text
is too onerous, then it may be non-free. Better to avoid them
altogether.
