Hi,

excuse my ignorance, what does DFDL, what do the letters stand for, and 
what is so wrong with it that we switch to creative common? I'd thank a 
quick explanation; i've done research on free software so i kind of know 
what is gpl, and what creative commons, too, although not thoroughly 
about their many variations.

thanks in advance...
