That other people would take the tar (or more likely zip) and extract the mp3 and then redistribute was kind of my hope. I mean, yeah, they'd be technically in violation, perhaps (there's always fair use), but so what. Without a history section, in its entirety, you're already in violation anyway. Was the plan for that to be read for every entry? Anyway, embedding the license in the audio file itself is even better, if it's legal. Would it be legal to embed the GFDL in a comment in a web page? Finally, I wonder if RMS/FSF would consider adding a clause similar to the one in the GPL that "If distribution of [the document] is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the [text of the GFDL] from the same place counts as distribution of the [GFDL], even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code." It'd be a useful addition to the next version of the GFDL. And isn't that basically what Wikipedia is doing now? The GFDL isn't distributed with each copy of the article, it's merely made available on the site.
