And the actual user manuals, are of course, to be in future referred to as=

"chopped liver".

It's the license used for all the chopped liver in KDE, we specify no=20
invariant sections.  It's written by the FSF.  It's the recommended license=

for Documentation, by the FSF and gnu.org.  Yet Debian say it's not "free"=

enough?  Sheesh.

It's definitely *not* the license I would choose to use, and I think it's v=
ery=20
difficult to apply to a website in any form. Personally, I would recommend=
=20
one of the very short ones - BSD or X11 license, or the slightly reworded t=
o=20
apply to docs instead of sources FreeBSD documentation license. =20
