Which is, ironically, an argument for freeing Red Hat documentation from the
additional OPL restrictions.

The lawyers have already spoken, and thus we have:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing

FWIW, we just had a test case of this recently.  Several guides that went with
system-config-* packages and the PHP Manual were under the OPL with options. 
The result is the former changed their license, and the PHP Manual is not going
to appear in Fedora 9 because upstream did not want to change or dual-license.

If Red Hat is the original copyright holder, they can dual-license under the OPl
without options.
