[FM Discuss] james Vasile

James works for the free software law center in NYC alongside Eben
Moglen, Lawrence Lessig (Eb 'n larry ;)

According to James it is fine to use the GPL for documentation. I didn't
ask what the deal is about images, but I imagine that issue would also
exist for Software. 

James wrote a bit about it in the Hacker Visions blog -

I tried to convince him to dump the FDL...hehe, ah....maybe one glass of
rosé too far... ;)
