Which is false. The right to commercial redistribution for profit, in electronic form at the very least, is a sine qua non for DFSG compliance. > This is a quoting from the O'Reilly editor about this: > We consider that in the DFSG phrasing, the endeavor of the user is > *preexistent* to the use of the document (which is OK for us), while > the FDL virtually allows that the use of the document may become the > endeavor itself (which we are not ready to agree with). The field-of-endeavor thing is not really what is at stake here. The basic right-to-redistribute is. And O'Reilly don't really have the final word (or any word) in how the DFSG is interpreted. -- Henning Makholm "Monsieur, vous êtes fou."
