wrong. i couldn't be bothered rewriting the same argument, so i'll just cut and paste: i can take a GFDL document with an invariant section, add another section which argues against, subverts, or just supplements the invariant section, AND i can distribute the result as either a new source tarball with Makefile or build-script etc or as a complete formatted manual (electronic or printed or whatever). i can also modify & redistribute non-invariant sections in any way i please. i can also distribute a "patch file" which contains that additional section. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (part time cyborg)
