fedora-test-list Digest, Vol 8, Issue 27

Sum Set of Licenses Non-Conflicting? I've been lost in the World of
Microsoft for a while but is it possible to arrive at that stage if
individual companies are tacking bits and pieces to licenses?

It seems a little bit like the U.S. Congress. "Excuse me Sir while I
attach this 2 billion dollar defense expenditure to this day care
bill."

I appreciate that this is probably not a good place for this
discussion. Is there a reference location on the web for the GPL?
Dummies Guide to the GPL? GPL FAQ?
