Hola Richard.

David y yo estamos desarollando una implementación libre de iCalendar
(descito en el RFC 5545), alojada en GNU Savannah.  Sylvain me dijo
hace unas cuántas semanas que tu quieres que toda la documentación en
Savannah sea FDL-compatible, por lo tanto yo no debería subir la
especifación de iCalendar a savannah.

Entiendo y estoy totalmente de aucerdo de este requisito para manuales
y documentación de software.  Pero aplican a los estándares también?.

Hasta donde entiendo los términos legales del IETF los RFCs pueden ser
reproducidos textualmente, la modificación no está permitida, pero
considerando que son estandares no se supone que se modifiquen.  ¿El
derecho de modificación es nesesario para ser considerados libres y
poder subirlo a Savannah?

Saludos.

A english translation follows.  However, I'm not too good with english
yet, so I let the original, spanish message above.

Hi Richard.

David and Me we are developing a free implementation of iCalendar
(described in RFC 5545), hosted in GNU Savannah.  Sylvain told me some
weeks ago than you want all documentation in Savannah to be
FDL-compatible, therefore I shouldn't upload the specification of
iCalendar to savannah.

I understand and fully agree in this requirement for manuals and
software documenation.  but they do apply to standards too?.

As I understand the IETF's legal terms, the RFCs can be reproduced
verbatim, modification is not allowed, but considering they are
standards they are not meant to be modified.  Is the right to modify
required to be considered free and uploaded to savannah?

Regards.
