I reverted to the text from Template:gnunote. Linking to the gnu.org GFDL is not in (strict) compliance. Failing to link to wikipedia:copyrights is not in strict compliance. Martin 22:51, 29 May 2004 (UTC)

Printable version?
Hemanshu made some changes for the benefit of the printable version - I'd like to be able to check that, but I can't find a link to the printable version in my current skin!
- There isn't a link to it, but the print stylesheet is automatically applied when you print the page. Use the "print preview" function of your browser to see what the printed version will look like. Angela.
If someone prints off a copy of a Wikipedia article, they should in any case also be printing off a copy of the text of the GFDL. So any link is possibly useful for advisory purposes, but no more - and thus local or non-local copy doesn't matter too much, However, I'd have thought it would be possible to make such a link only appear in the printable version, rather than in both printable and online version.
Further, rather than a link, ideally we'd have something like "If you intend to distribute this document, please also distribute a copy of the GFDL, which you can download from http://etc". This better gets across the obligations that redistributors face. Martin 15:27, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I don't think we need all that. The GFDL is more complicated than just distributing a copy of it, so it doesn't seem worthwhile to mention that part of the GFDL without mentioning all the rest of it. The link is there for people to learn they need to distribute a copy of it. Angela. 01:14, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
