[Wikipedia-l] a (somewhat) rhetorical question

I think that's a very interesting question.

But I think that the GNU FDL doesn't let the user add more restrictive
conditions.  If there are more restrictive conditions having to do
with not violating some laws, that's a different issue from GNU FDL
issues.

So I don't think there's a problem.

I think it'd be great if there were a large community of GNU FDL paparazzi.
Individual little people fan sites are constantly harassed, and rightly so under
the copyright laws, for stealing pictures.  It'd be neat if there were a repository
of GNU FDL photos that fans could use without permission.
