Not all GFDL documentation, only that which contains invariant sections which cannot be removed or modified. They'd have to be removed for the same reason than any component of Debian would have to be removed if it was discovered to be non-free. Debian does not contain non-free components. We do make available archives of useful-but-unfree software which could contain this documentation, but it wouldn't be part of Debian. I expect there will be more time for debate and discussion before the actual removal takes place. Branden's proposal for documenting and writing a FAQ seems like the proper next step. -- Mark Rafn [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.dagon.net/>
