Untitled

If this book is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License would it not be possible to have it in the wiki nettwork? Under Wikipedia or maybe Wikibooks. If that is possible, why not?

Yes, it would be possible, however wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a free text repository. For that kind of thing, have a look at http://wikisource.org/ . --fvw * 22:13, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)

Not under wikibooks either since it's supposed to host free textbooks, not free biographies. -- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 15:51, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Free as in Freedom. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://archive.is/20130218140020/http://www.vita.it/news/view/13544 to http://www.vita.it/news/view/13544

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).
