First off, the GFDL does not have to be GPL compatible to be DFSG free. Second off, you've not convinced me that the GFDL never allows the use of word format (I'll grant that such allowance would come with caveats about as strong as those necessary for your example). > > > Don't be silly.

Then you might want to go read the previously quoted material to which you were responding where you said "I am talking about Microsoft Word." However, to recap: I indicated that there are "Microsoft Word" is not a single thing but a complicated collection of interacting things -- statements about one facet of this collection need not be true for other facets. Your response to this was "Don't be silly. I am talking about Microsoft Word." Implying, perhaps, that Microsoft Word was instead one single opaque thing and that generalizations about any one aspect of it must necessarily apply to all other aspects? -- Raul
