It appears to me Walter was granting Didier permission, not everyone.

In the larger view however, there is an important difference between legally right and morally right. If you want a manual updated for yourself, go ahead and do it quietly, but why continue to provoke like this... it's simply not right.

No Bob,

this project was published under GPL, including the manual 3.1 as Franz rightfully said. No one can revoke later what was published under the GPL. And everybody, even Franz, has the right to exercise his rights - period. The manual 3.3 published later by Walter is another case.

If there is any ambiguity on the license, it is at the expense of the publisher of the license. Don't accuse Franz of infringing morally.

Here we have two difficult characters:
Franz is taking leave from time to time, promising, he'll never be back.
Walter is sent to leave from time to time, because he can't stop to affront "the SM".

It would be better if those guys would grow up.
