Re: Permission to use portions of the recent GNU Emacs Manual

We published it in the past, and I hope that we or others will publish
it in the future.
Is there some drawback that we'd have to encounter if things like the
Elisp manual were dual-licenced GPL and GFDL? While I don't think
that this would help the XEmacs people with their current predicament,
it would at least guarantee that stuff like that does not get excluded
from Debian distributions; and with the electronic forms of the
manuals, the GPL appears more appropriate to me.
