Hello, I have a question about the pod documentation in the perl distribution. With the documentation being under the standard perl Artistic/GPL license, is the intention to allow the sale of printed copies? According to FSF's GPL FAQ, it is possible to make printed copies of a GPL manual provided it includes a written offer to provide source (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhyNotGPLForManuals). However, it seems like this could be open to interpretation since the GPL and AL do not specifically mention making printed copies. -- best regards Brian Gough Network Theory Ltd, Publishing Free Software Manuals --- http://www.network-theory.co.uk/
