s/DFSG/Social Contract #5/ ;-) (ok the DFSG is part of the social contract) So if you take the document from the Gutenberg[1] project, is it software for you ? and you have to apply the rule of DFSG for the books of Steven Levy or Victor Hugo ? Would you modify the various books ? A book is not software and this is not the same definition. The freedom objectives are the same but they are small differences. [1] The vast majority of Gutenberg books are in public domain. So you are allowed to make a lot of thing with the books. -- -- Alexandre Dulaunoy (adulau) -- http://www.foo.be/ -- http://pgp.ael.be:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x44E6CBCD -- "Knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance -- that we can solve them" Isaac Asimov
