New Version of the GFDL
The Free Software Foundation is working on a new version of the GNU
Free Documentation License. The new version of the license clarifies
some wording with respect to invariant sections and front matter, and
places limits on their size and the ways they can be used.
We recommend for compatibility reasons the GNU FDL or the OPL v1.0
with options A and B not applied. OPL v2 does not meet our
requirements. Some authors using the GFDL may find that the newest
version adds too many restrictions, especially on non technical
sections content or cover pages content. However, the LDP considers
licensing to be the author's choice, not the LDP's. We have some
general guidelines about licensing, because of our need to freely
distribute documents, but we do not require any specific license. Our
Manifesto specifies the characteristics a license must fulfill. LDP
authors are free to choose the license they want, as long as the basic
guidelines from our manifesto are respected.
The LDP will remain neutral in license choice or license version
questions, as long as the LDP manifesto is respected. Therefore, we
suggest anyone using the GFDL reads
http://www.fsf.org/licenses/fdl.html and makes their own decision
about whether or not to adopt the new version of the GFDL. That page
includes a diff which shows the differences between each version of
the GFDL.

And it came to pass in the third year of the Desert War that Paul Muad'Dib
lay alone in the Cave of Birds beneath the kiswa hangings of an inner
cell. And he lay as one dead, caught up in the revelation of the Water of
Life, his being translated beyond the boundaries of time by the poison
that gives life. Thus was the prophecy made true that the Lisan al-Gaib
might be both dead and alive.
