Dear all Software in question: GnomeSword Software licence: GPL v2 or (at your option) any later
The documentation (Gnome Help file) is covered by GFDL 1.1 with no invariant sections and a disclaimer.[1] I want to clarify that it still qualifies for the staying in Main. I've googled a lot about Debian and GFDL 1.2 but I'm a bit confused if the Debian resolution applies to GFDL 1.1 as well. It also puzzles me that GFDL 1.1 is not present in /usr/share/common-licenses/ And the proposed copyright format doesn't have GFDL-1.1 tag either (only v1.2) I'm member of the Crosswire packaging team and we are working on the new upsream release and hoping to get it into Jaunty and upload to Debian after Lenny (due to dependencies). Please help me to understand if this software with this documentation is DFSG compliant. [1] This is legal notice of the help file.
