GNU FDL License on Mutopia

[Chris Sawer]

I've had a submission to Mutopia which the submitter requested be 
placed under the GNU FDL (Free Documentation License). As we currently 
don't accept music placed under this license on Mutopia I thought I'd 
better see what the views of other people on the mailing list are about 
it. The license can be found at:

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html

I personally don't think it's suitable, as it is not designed for music 
or writing in general - it's designed specifically for documentation. 
As such, it says absolutely nothing about performance, etc.

Apart from anything else, the copyright/license notice wouldn't fit in 
LilyPond's tagline :-P

As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Chris
