This work is based on the hard work by [countless Hurd users](http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/THANKS), documented and maintained by Neal H. Walfield. See the original for both reference and its licensing at <http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/>
-The license for Neals work is under the [GNU GPL](http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/COPYING). However, at the Hurd Wiki we are trying (or will be trying) to get the content licensed under the GNU FDL (unless the topic is mostly code).

-There are currently issues to be resolved around this matter, as far as I understand at least. Until an agreement can be reached this text, and the unclear status of this topic, will remain.

+There are several obvious issues with this as I can see
+
+1. The [[InstallGuide]] must be kept editable by a select few people to avoid the current situation from repeating itself.
+2. This loops back and kicks us in the butt because then we get:
+ 1. Synchronization problems with the original work
+ 2. Bottle necks: The people with edit access are too busy to synchronize with Neals guide
+ 3. Diverging guides
+3. Annoyed users, we break the tradition of freely editable wiki content and we also have two guides saying different things.
