Against GFDL? Specifically the "link to the website" part. The GFDL states "that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License." But it also states to preserve "the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on." --Hagindaz 08:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I think this is absolutely acceptable, you can treat this as author credit. --Derbeth talk 09:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * * I do wonder though what the Foundation would feel about our editing their content here. We can't host immutable text.  --JMRyan 09:47, 13 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Transwiki to Wikisource or Delete - Two problems I see with this. One, the imutable text argument really is something that belongs on Wikisource instead.  See also What is Wikibooks.  I know that things like Travels With Charley: In Search of America challenging this assertion, but the intent here IMHO is to use Wikibooks as a hosting service for this content, or as a text archival service.  That is not within the scope of the mission of Wikibooks.


 * The other is a huge NPOV problem where this is clearly something with a strong POV. See the sentance "If you are around in 2020, the chances are that you will see drugs prohibition replaced with a system of regulated and controlled markets."  If this isn't a strong political statement, I don't know what else could be, and is a strong liberatarian viewpoint.  I don't care if you agree to this POV, this is a POV.  This would normally call for an editorial cleanup, but the entire text is centered on this POV, and as such really ought to be deleted on this ground as well.  Wikisource doesn't have that same prohibition as the NPOV issues are weaker on that project.  The problem on Wikisource would be a self-contribution issue, where it might not be permitted.  If it is moved to the Transwiki namespace, that shouldn't be a problem as Wikisource can delete the content there if it doesn't fit their guidelines.  It certainly doesn't belong here.  --Rob Horning 13:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Transwiki to Wikisource or Delete as per Rob Horning. I'm not certain that it is immutable text, I merely suspect that it may well be.  Either way the NPOV problem is a clincher.  Since it is already on the web, I don't see that it needs to be copied into a MediaWiki project.  But it remains in a MediaWiki project, then Wikisource is clearly the right home for it.  --JMRyan 18:11, 13 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. --German Men92 19:53, 13 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Transwiki to Wikisource JMRyan and Robert Horning said it all. This belongs in Wikisource, and probably would be better there. --Dragontamer 05:19, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - I'm not sure if it would be appropiate at 'source. Gentgeen 09:46, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete The copyright gives permission to reproduce, but not to modify. The new version of Wikisource:Copyrights requires all texts to be GFDL-compatible, so there must be permission to modify, even though we at Wikisource do not actually modify them (except for translations and such). --Kernigh 02:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC) (Wikisource:User:Kernigh)
