I did a quickie search to compare GPL vs. GFDL and there are views all over
the map - could someone in the know tell us the difference ? Isam, could you
ask Gerard for his view on why GFDL but not GPL. We've always thrived to
work under GPL as much as possible, but we need to continue to consider the
overall benefit to mankind at large given we don't go down the wrong ally.
Salam.
