Hello

Is here anyone with any opinion on possible licensing Ronja under GNU FDL?
There have been severe disputes over FDL's freeness in Debian community.
What's your opinion on the matter whether licensing Ronja under FDL will
enforce releasing schematics only in "transparent formats", or even
possibly forcing PCB's derived from schematics to be released only in
"transparent formats"?

Is anyone holding an opinion here that the whole copyright matter is just
a piece of shit and information just wants to be free?

Reading the disputes I got a feeling that the license grounds aroung GPL and
FDL are likely to become messy minefields soon, regarding for example issues
around validity of GPL and FDL in Czech Republic or mutual incompatibility
between FDL and GPL.
