Hello,
I have written a text and published it under the GNU FDL. Now I was asked by
somebody if he can use parts of that text for his diploma thesis and if that
means that it also must be licensed under the FDL.
German "Urheberrecht" allows citations, in scientific works even in larger
portions (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zitate_und_Urheberrecht).
My question now is, do the rules for derivative works nevertheless apply?
i.e. must his thesis in which my FDL licensed text is used also be licensed
under the FDL?
Thank you for any hints,
Stephan
