License change for the GPH.

[Richard Stallman]

        [ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider
        [ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies,
        [ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example.

      Up until now such updates did not happen because the
    restrictive terms of the FDL made it hard to include content from other
    sources (HOWTOS, FAQ, etc.) or re-use parts of the GPH elsewhere (FAQ).

What is the legal status of the FAQ?  Who are the contributors?
What license does it carry, and how was that chosen?

Likewise for the HOWTOS that you want to use.

    Thus I like to ask for a license change of the GPH to CC-by-sa/GPLv3.

Could you explain why you think that license is desirable?
What is the problem you think it would solve?  I doubt it would really
solve the problem; I suspect there is a mistake.  But until I see the
details, I can't be certain.

I think it will be necessary to write new text with the pertinent
information; but first let's try contacting the people who wrote the
text you want to use and get their permission.  Those who wrote
small changes in that text, we need not ask.
