Classpath::Documentation Redistribution Policy

GNU Documentation is unique because of our attitude towards it. We

believe the reader should be free to copy and redistribute it, just

like our software. Originally, all our documentation was released under

a short 

license, or under the 

name="GNU General Public License (GPL)"> itself; in 2001 the

name="Free Documentation License (FDL)"> was created to

address certain needs that were not met by licenses originally designed

for software.
