discuss: Open Methodology License

[Pete Herzog]

Hi,

Thanks, for your input.  But the FDL does not protect the document from
being changed and reprinted (hurting any ability for a community to make
a single standard) and it won't allow software developers to use it
freely in commercial software.

Or am I wrong again?

Sincerely,
-pete.
