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.
