That’s interesting, because
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.en.html says:
The standard copyright terms for GNU web pages is now the Creative
Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 United States License.
The web page you site also includes this:
Works that express someone's opinion—memoirs, editorials, and
so on—serve a fundamentally different purpose than works for
practical use like software and documentation. Because of
this, we expect them to provide recipients with a different
set of permissions: just the permission to copy and
distribute the work verbatim. Richard Stallman discusses this
frequently in his speeches.
Because so many licenses meet these criteria, we cannot list them all.
If you are looking for one to use yourself, however, there are two
that we recommend:
* GNU Verbatim Copying License (#GNUVerbatim) This was the license used
throughout the GNU web site for many years. It is very simple, and
especially well-suited to written works.
* Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 license (a.k.a. CC BY-ND)
(#ccbynd) This is the license used throughout the GNU and FSF web
sites. This license provides much the same permissions as our verbatim
copying license, but it's much more detailed. We particularly
recommend it for audio and/or video works of opinion. Please be
specific about which Creative Commons license is being used.
This seems like a discussion for someplace other than the emacs-devel
list, so I tried (perhaps crudely?) to redirect it to emacs-tangents.
Thanks,
~Chad
