LDP License missing





There are about 17 HOWTOs that use the LDP License.  They do not include 
it in their HOWTOs but incorporate it by reference: 
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/COPYRIGHT.html
In some cases people have used "sunsite" for "metalab" and also used 
"LDP-COPYRIGHT" for "COPYRIGHT.

Now the LDP License is not at these urls.  It has been removed and another 
license substituted for it which is named "LINUX DOCUMENTATION PROJECT 
COPYING LICENSE".  I have a copy of the LDP Licesse and it is much 
different than the "... copying license".  All the references in the 
HOWTOs state "LDP license" and not "copying license".  Thus a major 
mistake has been made and the correct license needs to be restored to the 
urls which are referenced by these HOWTOs.

PS: The LDP license should perhaps also be at the url .../LICENSE.html
since this is stated in the latest version (2.0) which apparently no one
used as no HOWTOs reference this URL.  I only have a copy of version 2.0
but I think that an earlier version is the one that should be restored. 
Greg Hankins should have a copy of the version that mentioned 
.../COPYRIGHT.html.
