After spending the last several days doing markup on a syntactically and grammatically, er, "challenged" tutorial, I found myself in need of the solace of Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style," if only to remind myself that good writing does indeed exist outside my imagination. I noticed during my Web search that EoS was released some years ago into the public domain, and can be found in a variety of formats, although DocBook XML was not one of these as far as I can tell.
I realize that "public domain" != "FDL," and therefore am wondering if anyone out there has sufficient expertise to address the extent to which EoS might be included in the documentation-guide.
Great idea. How about asking in the commons arena, or the fdl licence group to find out just how to interpret that licence?
You can also try <debian-legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. I know there was a huge thread on debian-devel (I think) not too long ago about some non-freeness aspects of the FDL. In fact, IIRC, a new FDL is due any day now that's meant to address some of these concerns. I believe it was "due" June 1st.
HTH, Mark
