Hello Hrvoje and Mauro,
I understand and agree with the reasoning behind removing the GPL as
the invariant section; but why also remove the GFDL as an invariant
section?
That's just because having the GFDL as an invariant section is a null
op; the GFDL itself already requires that it be included, and no one
can change it anyway (save from going to a later version if your
copyright statement allows it.) If it were to stay as an invariant
section, I don't think it would cause a problem for Debian, but I
really don't see any reason from your perspective to do so.
I suggested removing them both because I figured if you were to modify
it at all, you may as well just modify it once.
Thanks for working with us on this issue!
I checked 1.11 alpha1 and svn trunk but both are still there. Do you
already have decided to remove GFDL from this section, too?
yes. i've just talked with hrvoje about it, and we reached consensus on
changing both the GPL and the GFDL sections from invariant to normal.
Just for your info and not to hurry you:
Debian will start freezing in Jul and because wget is an important part
I want to have it resolved before.:)
i'll do my best to release wget 1.11 ASAP. IIRC, fedora should freeze in
July as well. it would be nice to have wget 1.11 included in both the
new versions of debian and fedora.
