I meant that the GFDL requires you to have the license content itself as part of the document, whereas it can be a seaprate file for the GPL. : A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the : Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with : modifications and/or translated into another language. : : 4. MODIFICATIONS : : In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: : : H. Include an unaltered copy of this License. It says to "include an unaltered copy of this License" "in the Modified Version" (not alongside of it in the package). Peter
