Actually we changed the wording a bit so that any copyleft license is acceptable; the GPL is now just an example. Thus, even if a new GPL appeared not published by the FSF, I would not mind as long as it is a copyleft license. More about this in a reply to another post, however. The new wording: 6. You may change the license to any other copyleft license such as the GPL, GFDL, CC SA, or the XEmacs manual license. > There are some rather serious problems with the GFDL that Debian is > trying to work out with the FSF.
