[Groff] actual standard of license

[Bernd Warken]

Some months ago, a debian developer asked to replace the FDL licenses (GNU Free 
Documentation License) in the groff source files by GPL (GNU General Public 
License).  So far, this has been done only for groffer.

The top directory of the groff source still has a file FDL, and the file 
LICENSE in the corrected version of the FSF reads
   "All files of the groff source package are licensed under this version of 
the GPL (or licenses which are compatible with the GPL)."
So the FDL would suit to this as well.

As the man pages of most GNU packages, such as emacs and cpp, still use the FDL 
I ask again whether we should really remove the FDL from the groff source?

I would prefer to go on with FDL for most documents, but would also agree to 
restrict to GPL as single license for all files.
