A patches-only license that does not allow distribution of ready-to-run versions of modified works is not DFSG-free either. If we apply that criteria to human-readable documentation, a free license should allow distribution of modified ready-to-read documents. It may require that everyone who receives such a ready-to-read documents can also opt to receive machine-readable source of the original and a machine-readable description of the differences. -- Henning Makholm "Børge råbte: Åh!"
