Hi all,
Fedora lists the GNU Free Documentation License as "good" for documentation. the GFDL has this concept of "invariant sections" which can be declared or not in the license header. If this is used, then it creates some restrictions for those sections and there are some other specific obligations in the license. (I'm not going to try to explain this here, but if you are interested, this is probably a better summary than trying to actually parse the text of the license https://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto-opt.en.html)
Does any one know if GFDL is approved for Fedora regardless of if the invariant section is triggered?
I think so, because doesn't the GFDL-licensed documentation in
Fedora-packaged GNU projects use invariant sections? Probably easy to
check.
let's go with that then :) not sure how much time we want to spend on
documentation/content licenses...
I would be curious if either of you knew how much customers care about
these licenses??
Richard
