/ "Yann" <freedoomer@mandragor.org> was heard to say:
| Which is the correct one? Can I redistribute the oreilly reference book,
| or not? I don't really anderstand why there are two licenses... is this a
| mistake?

The license terms were changed after the first edition was published.

The current license is the GFDL, but the book is also "in progress".
There's no finished second edition for you to publish.

I suppose that under the terms of the GFDL, I can't prevent you from
publishing the current snapshot, though I'd rather you didn't.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
