Re: maintain.texi isn't GFDL compatible

Hi Tim,

    It might be nice to release it under the same terms as the `GNU Coding
    Standards':

I asked rms.  We'll see.

    I don't see a good reason why the old license is being used, 

maintain.texi is not exactly documentation of a program, but of specific
procedures for GNU maintainers.  My guess is that rms saw no need for
anyone to modify it, etc.

    that documentation incompatible with the GFDL shouldn't be hosted on
    Savannah. ;)

True, but savannah being a GNU project, and this being a GNU standard
direct from rms, it gets special dispensation :).
