Hello,

Just a question : what's the reason for using GNU GPL on documentary 
works ? This well-known license is excellent for software, but unadapted 
for other works, like books or manuals. For exemple, the GNU GPL v2 do 
not speak about " representing " the work : thereby, you can copy the 
work, but you are not allowed to represent it...
Some other licenses, like the CC-By-SA or the next GNU SFDL, are written 
consequently and would be more appropriate.

Best regards,
Ben
