Currently it is GFDL, with front/back cover texts, and I am told that the Debian cannot include this in their distribution - therefore, the Org-mode package in Debian is currently without Manual. Currently, the copyright notice reads: @quotation Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with the Front-Cover texts being ``A GNU Manual,'' and with the Back-Cover Texts as in (a) below. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU Free Documentation License.'' (a) The FSF's Back-Cover Text is: ``You have freedom to copy and modify this GNU Manual, like GNU software. Copies published by the Free Software Foundation raise funds for GNU development.'' @end quotation Can someone tell me what the right steps would be in this situation? Thanks. - Carsten
