Back in 2000 the license was changed to the GNU FDL and we did a few translations of the manual. Meanwhile the manual is heavily out of date and should be updated to reflect the current state of the project. Up until now such updates did not happen because the restrictive terms of the FDL made it hard to include content from other sources (HOWTOS, FAQ, etc.) or re-use parts of the GPH elsewhere (FAQ). Documentation for encryption is very important these days and we should move away any blockers for a wider dissemination. Thus I like to ask for a license change of the GPH to CC-by-sa/GPLv3. Something like You can redistribute this manual and/or modify it under the terms of the [[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/][Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License]] or alternatively under the terms of the [[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/][GNU General Public License]] as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
