	Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory
		GFDL has focused not only on model-building relevant for NOAA operations, as in hurricane modeling, but also on using models to address issues of importance to society at large, global warming being a prime example.
		It is strongly felt within GFDL that this broad set of activities leads to more accurate prediction of phenomena in the atmosphere and oceans, on land or in the cryosphere, on daily, seasonal, decadal or centennial time scales.
		GFDL is a $22 million laboratory ($12.8 million in NOAA base) with a staff of 113, including 81 federal employees and 12 university visiting scientists and graduate students.

		GFDL encompasses a variety of disciplines (e.g., meteorology, oceanography, hydrology, classical physics, fluid dynamics, chemistry, applied mathematics and numerical analysis) and focuses on many topics of great practical value (i.e., weather and hurricane forecasts, El Niño prediction, stratospheric ozone depletion and global warming).
		GFDL's research goal is to expand the scientific understanding of the physical, chemical and biological processes that govern the behavior of the atmosphere and oceans as complex fluid systems — with a special focus on the development and utilization of computer simulations.
		GFDL was formed in 1955 as the research branch of the U.S. Weather Bureau in Washington, D.C. Its creation resulted from the historical first numerical weather prediction experiments carried out in the late 1940s and early 1950s at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton (led by John Von Neumann and Jule Charney).

		However in some specific cases, commercial re-uses may be fair use and in that case such materials do not need to be licensed to fall within the GFDL if such fair use is covered by all potential subsequent uses.
		The reasons for this are that the GFDL allows "invariant" text which cannot be modified or removed, and that its prohibition against digital rights management (DRM) systems affects valid usages as well.
		A number of objections have been made to the GNU FDL, with some critics recommending the use of alternate licenses (such as the Creative Commons license) or even the GNU GPL.

	GFDL text corpus - OekonuxWiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The GFDL itself ensures that the original sources of such texts cannot control the disposition of the material (this is called the right to fork).
		One problem is that most GFDL text is at present in a data jail inside MySQL dumps, which is not even close to satisfying the GFDL clauses requiring source text access.
		Eventually, by a combination of legal and technical means, trolls will succeed, and the GFDL text corpus will be liberated and visible and editable as a whole, and it will be relatively easy to undo sysop vandalism and avoid cabals.

		A 1,152-processor SGI Origin 3000 series supercomputer at GFDL is being used full time to address some of the most difficult but critical obstacles to developing new and more realistic models for predicting climate variability, detecting climate change and forecasting hurricanes.
		GFDL is a federal research laboratory in the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, part of the U.S. Department of Commerce's NOAA.
		GFDL scientists developed the first global models of the ocean and atmosphere and the first ocean-atmosphere climate model.

	Which License for Free Documentation?
		The GFDL requires that the license be reproduced in whole in the body of the publication.
		In reality, the GFDL has two other effects where Invariant Sections are concerned: it prevents someone from reusing this text in the expression of their own opinion, and it prevents someone from removing these opinions from the technical matter of the work.
		There may be problems with the GFDL, but I hope at least people who criticize RMS for his "extremeist" views, like tk, can recognize that RMS is not as extreme as you think.

	Draft Debian Position Statement about the GNU Free Documentation License(GFDL)
		Section 3 (Copying in Quantity) of the GFDL states that it is not enough to just put a transparent copy of a document alongside with the opaque version when you are distributing it (which is all that you need to do for sources under the GPL, for example).
		Instead, the GFDL seems to read that I must somehow "include a machine-readable Transparent copy" (i.e., not allow the opaque form to be downloaded without the transparent form) or keep the transparent form available for (forgive me if I'm mistaken about the time) one year.
		Because the GFDL with Invariant Sections or Cover Texts is non-free, the Debian project is considering removing all manuals under such licenses from Debian.

	CHANGES TO THE GFDL HURRICANE FORECAST SYSTEM FOR 2002
		Finally, the computation of the asymmetric part of the GFDL vortex that is determined from the previous 12h forecast was improved to remove numerical noise in the wind field that arose due to inconsistences in the horizontal interpolations used in interpolating the environmental fields from the coarse resolution to the inner nest.
		The GFDL model's current physics, in particular the convective paramaterization, is unable to properly represent the influence of strong vertical shear on the storm intensity.
		However, it is encouraging that the new GFDL model showed considerable improvement in the intensity prediction compared to the operational model, as indicated in Figure 10.

	GFDL corpus access provider - Anarchopedia
		A GFDL corpus access provider or GFDLcap is a web service or other net media, or potentially even email or CD-ROM distributor, that provides access to a large portion of the GFDL corpus open content.
		Tracking with change to the GFDL corpus as a whole, so that the best material can be copied into those services interested in presenting it to their users.
		There are proposals extant to track all changes to the GFDL corpus in any of the known access providers, and perhaps simplify signup for jabber or other services that could serve as basis for interwiki identity standard.

	GFDL corpus - CreativeCommons
		The GFDL text corpus predates Common Content and can't be cleanly relicensed as the latter due to diffuse copyright ownership.
		One speculative future proposal is to create a more compatible CC-by-sa-fd to include the clauses that try to guarantee the integrity of the documentation and attribution, and have a future GFDL declare that it is in effect a dual-license between prior GFDLs and this new CC.
		Eventually, by a combination of legal and technical means, such trolls will succeed, and the GFDL text corpus will be liberated and visible and editable as a whole, and it will be relatively easy to undo sysop vandalism and avoid cabals.

	GFDL corpus - Consumerium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The GFDL corpus is the body of all material licensed under GFDL.
		Props are due to the founders, their vision, the contributors and all involved, but the fact is that when someone presses 'submit', they maintain copyright over the material, and grant generous terms of use to anyone who wants to use them under those terms.
		Using the term GFDL corpus emphasises the freedom of the text, and the ability of people to use it under broad terms, and is inclusive of other projects contributions to this corpus.

		The text of the GFDL is the only legally binding document; what follows is our interpretation of the GFDL: the rights and obligations of users and contributors.
		In the second case, if you incorporate external GFDL materials, as a requirement of the GFDL, you need to acknowledge the authorship and provide a link back to the network location of the original copy.
		If you use part of a copyrighted work under "fair use", or if you obtain special permission to use a copyrighted work from the copyright holder under the terms of our license, you must make a note of that fact (along with names and dates).

	[Wikilegal-l] Re: Are images GFDL'd?
		That means the child is prohibited from using the GFDL content in a school homework paper because the child can't release their paper under the GFDL without a completely impractical set of steps.
		If you prefer the GFDL, you're making life hard for children (and schools, for that matter) and that's completely opposed to what I want to be doing.
		Today, we could release under the public domain and it would be in the public domain and available to the public forever.

	GFDL - CreativeCommons
		As with the CC sa variants, the GFDL ensures that the original sources of such texts cannot control the disposition of the material (this is called the right to fork).
		The main gain of CC over GFDL in this regard is the flexibility - CC allows for some rights reserved such as the power to control any commercial use.
		By contrast the GFDL has no such concept of reservation of rights, but is a monolithic single license like the GPL.

	GFDL text corpus - Metaweb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The GFDL text corpus is the body of all text licensed under the GFDL.
		Because the GFDL has no parameters and no options, any text from any of these can be copied from one to the other with no restrictions.
		Legal issues with GFDL, for example, are poorly defined, as some consider its use nearly equivalent to placing work in the public domain.

	GNU Free Documentation License - Wikipedia
		For a document to be covered by the GFDL, one must include a specific copyright and license notice.
		This means that the back reference should at least include a link to the GFDL which is not the case yet in the Wales/Sanger proposal (or requirement as they like to put it).
		Note that international copyright law (including the US law) states they cannot change the license without the written consent of the other authors.

	[Discussioni][tb@becket.net: What's up with the GFDL?] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It's not just that the GFDL is incompatible with this or that free software license: it's that it is fundamentally incompatible with any free software license whatsoever.
		So the FSF does not trumpet that little public comment, and has issued no explanation of why such a widely unpopular documentation license should be used.
		If this is really RMS's reason, then it means that he demands the right to control the speech of every GNU volunteer when it comes to GNU project policies.

	Wikitravel:Why Wikitravel isn't GFDL - Wikitravel
		This is a restriction of the GFDL -- you're not allowed to change the license for the content, unless you're the original copyright holder.
		If not having your contributions under the GFDL is unacceptable to you for some reason, and you can't wait the few months until the new version of the by-sa (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/1.0/) comes out that would be compatible with the GFDL, there are a couple of different options.
		You can contact the Free Software Foundation (http://www.fsf.org/) (FSF), authors of the GFDL, and Creative Commons (http://www.creativecommons.org/), authors of the by-sa license, and let them know that the fact that their licenses don't mix is causing you difficulty.

	LWN: When "Free" Isn't Good Enough
		The GFDL allowance of invariant sections recognises the secondary and primary purposes of free documentation: secondarily to assert origins and opinions, but primarily to enable documentation of a changing code-base to be kept up to date.
		This is ignoring the odd problems about "opaque" and "transparent" copies, or the problems of the GFDL being GPL-incompatible, or the fact the GFDL in fact exhibits the exact same problem the FSF says the BSD license has.
		Likewise, a GFDL workaround which satisfies the letter (but not the spirit?) of DFSG is to have the author invent a new license which is the GPL plus her important texts.

	How dual licensing works - JnanaBase
		Both GFDL 1.2 and CC-by-sa2 are famous licenses used by many people, but they are incompatible: You cannot mix GFDL and CC licensed content.
		This means that if you have a website released under the CC license, you will be unable to incorporate GFDL works in it unless you use the fair use or fair dealing doctrines or some other law.
		It is important to note, however, that it is possible for someone to copy your work under the GFDL (or CC) license and create a derivative work under just that license, without dual-licensing it under both the GFDL and CC.

	GFDL DecCen Coupled Climate Models
		In 2004, a new family of GFDL climate models (the CM2.x family) was first used to conduct climate research.
		They are being applied to topics focusing on decadal-to-centennial (deccen) time scale issues (including multi-century control experiments and climate change projections), as well as to seasonal-to-interannual (si) problems, such as El Niño research and experimental forecasts.
		CM2.0 model output files will be available from the GFDL Data Portal and a subset of the output will be included among the IPCC Working Group 1 Data served from The Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

	The General Circulation Research Section (GFDL)
		The names used in the following section are the informal terms used by GFDL members, who do not always agree on their interpretation.
		To conserve computer time (especially for coupled ocean-atmosphere modeling), integrations were performed on a 60-degree longitudinal "slice" of the globe, with a symmetry assumption for conversion to global results.
		In the mid-1970s, GFDL imported a copy of the spectral GCM code developed by W. Bourke at the Australian Numerical Meteorological Research Centre.

	GFDL's Data Portal
		Be aware that the GFDL Data Portal has experienced some periods of being overloaded this week.
		There are 2 new GFDL models (CM2.0 and CM2.1) that differ in significant ways (for example, entirely different atmospheric dynamical cores are used in the two models).
		One is that north of 65N the ocean and sea ice models' "tripolar" horizontal grid is not a regular latitude longitude grid.

	Rewriting GFDL docs - where to start from? (was: GFDL again)
		Hi, on debian-private, a discussion about GFDL drifted into topics that are rather appropriate for a public mailing list.
		I was wondering whether we could start to rewrite the manual for GNU Emacs, starting with a) the old manual, prior to GFDL and b) GPL'ed docstrings in the source.
		However, it was pointed out that the old license of the manual, before it was put under GFDL, is also problematic with respect to the DFSG.

	[No title]
		The track forecast skill has surpassed 1999 operational GFDL forecast skill and is comparable to that of the global models of other major centers.
		The location of the vortex center in the guess field may not be important in the GFDL model, but it affects the accuracy of the relocation procedure in the AVN forecast.
		The comparison of the relative errors is made for the GFDL forecasts initialized from the operational AVN analyses(GFDO), the T126 version of the GDAS discussed in section 3 as the EXP2 run(GFDW), the T170 version of the current operational GDAS with relocation(GFDS) and the U. Met.
