[09:37] <MehdiHassanpour> I'm lookin for the GFDL vs CC discussions on ubuntu or debian lists. any one can help me with some URLs?
[09:38] <Burgundavia> MehdiHassanpour: what specifics? the free-ness? the choice between them
[09:38] <Burgundavia> ?
[09:39] <MehdiHassanpour> Burgundavia: everything
[09:39] <MehdiHassanpour> I would like to know why should we choose CC over GFDL
[09:40] <MehdiHassanpour> while many software packages in ubuntu are GPL'ed
[09:41] <Burgundavia> cc has more acceptance and is a more modern license
[09:42] <Burgundavia> there are far more cc documents than gfdl
[09:42] <Burgundavia> and gdfl != gpl
[09:43] <MehdiHassanpour> but GFDL is written by the FSF, they update it and care for the bugs if it has
[09:43] <Burgundavia> gfdl has not been updated for ages
[09:43] <Burgundavia> and has series freeness issues
[09:44] <Burgundavia> as where as CC licenses get updated frequently
[09:45] <Burgundavia> basically, gfdl is a crap license
[09:45] <MehdiHassanpour> I know, I would like to talk about this in our loco meeting and need more details, if possible...
[09:53] <Admiral_Chicago> gfdl was updated very recently afaik
[09:54] <Admiral_Chicago> ah no...
[09:54] <Admiral_Chicago> wel lits too late for me to argue licensing, don't care about that discussion really
[10:32] <mc44> I was just wondering if feisty upgrades document could have the bit about needed the latest update manager in it (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeistyKnownIssues)
[10:33] <mc44> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades
[11:45] <ubotu> New bug: #107437 in ubuntu-doc "Feisty Upgrades document" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/107437
[05:23] <nixternal> Admiral_Chicago: GFDL will be updated after the GPLv3 comes out, remember my question to Peter Brown?
[05:24] <nixternal> GFDL is like 10 years old, and it is actually restrictive, to a point that Debian declared the emacs documentation non-free
[07:54] <Admiral_Chicago> nixternal: yea, I remember the question, i thought the answer was that it got updated recently
