Hi

This is on slashdot:

  Debian GNU/Linux to Declare GNU GFDL non-Free?

  Syntaxis writes "There's some considerable argy-bargy in progress over
  whether or not GNU's own GFDLis a Free documentation license at all.
  At issue are "invariant sections" which cannot be removed from
  derivative works. Check out the thread culminating in the proposed
  motion to take action. The current consensus on Debian-legal does
  indeed appear to be that one of the FSF's own licenses is non-Free
  under the terms of the Debian Free Software Guidelines! Well,
  documentation for GPLed projects countermanding the very freedoms
  embodied in the GPL certainly seems insane to me."
