在上周,也就是本月的三日,FSF发布了GNU Free Document License1.3的新版本。
引用之前的一则报道:
很多WiKi 网站经常从各种来源导入信息资料,很多资料依据CC-BY-SA许可证”,FSF的许可证执行工程师 Brett Smith 如是说:“WiKipedia ,依然采用GNU FDL 许可证。这两种许可证之间的不兼容已经成为信息资料在这些站点间来往交换的障碍。新版FDL 1.3 将为WiKipedia和其他WIKI 站点们提供另一种他们所期望的许可证方案的选择机会。
由于上周FSF发来的邮件被当作垃圾邮件屏蔽,后来在删除垃圾邮件时发现了这则消息。
邮件原文大致是:
