Mathieu, is this ``merely a way to ensure that no ugly copy of this document exists on the internet'' as with your GObject documentation[1]? Can the invariant sections clause be removed? Otherwise Debian, for example, might not ship the documentation because invariant sections are considered DFSG non-free. And the FSF's opinion on invariant sections from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto-opt.html#TOC1 is: ``The idea of invariant sections is that they give you a way to express nontechnical personal opinions about the topic.'' All the invariant sections in B-A documentation are technical. Martin
