That matches my understanding. It may be hard to believe that such an obnoxious intent was deliberate, but I think it is in our interests to believe it true. > It bothers me mostly for the guide, where I did spend a lot of time to > make it compact, and now something like one fifth of it is license > text.

Please use this as an opportunity to seriously consider relicensing the entire work (programs, documentation, etc.) of Org-mode under the same license: the GNU GPL. It does not have the special problems of the FDL, and having the whole work under the same license terms makes it simpler and clearer. > Will try to find a solution here.
