| Your letter about our recent change to the GFDL, which lets operators of some 
| GFDL-covered wiki sites relicense their contents under Creative Commons BY-SA 
| license, raises the important questions of whether this change and the way we 
| made it were proper, and what they imply in regard to trusting the FSF's 
| stewardship of our licenses in the future.    
| 
| In my judgment and that of the FSF board, this licensing change is fully 
| consistent with our values, our ethics, and our commitments, and should 
| demonstrate that the FSF continues to merit your trust. "Or any later 
| version" licensing enables us to give new permissions that respond to the 
| needs of the community, as well as defend against new threats to users' 
| freedom.

| Obviously, they had no idea what the GFDL meant. Quite frankly, the guy that
| did the map could sue them — but we’ve never seen a GFDL lawsuit. Meanwhile,
| we’re not sure how the guy that drew the map felt having his work “updated”
| (aka “altered”) and stuck on the front of the average Beijing Subway Single
| Journey Ticket.
