But there is a difference between the GPL-required text: >>>>> Portions of this work (specifically page 12) are Copyright (C) >>>>> 2003 The Free Software Foundation and are licensed under the >>>>> GNU GPL. See Appendix G for the text of the GPL. This notice is >>>>> considered a written offer to provide the source to any third party >>>>> under the terms of the GPL, valid until January 1, 2007. This work >>>>> has NO WARRANTY. [Appendix G has the text of the GPL.] And the GFDL-required text: >>>>> Portions of this work (specifically pages 12-19) are Copyright (C) >>>>> 2003 The Free Software Foundation and are licensed under the >>>>> GNU GFDL, with Invariant sections <foo> and <bar>, front cover >>>>> text "A GNU Manual", and back cover text "baz". See Appendix G for >>>>> the text of the GFDL. [ Appendix G has the text of the GFDL.] [ Page 12 is the "front cover" of the GFDL'd subwork, so has just the words "A GNU Manual"] (Page 13 is the same as page 12 above) [ Pages 14-15 have the invariant section <foo> ] [ Pages 16-18 have the invariant section <bar> ] [ Page 19 is the "back cover" of the GFDL'd subwork, so has just the word "baz"] --Joe
