I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20130530230813/http://www.informationweek.com/verizon-settles-open-source-software-law/206904096 to http://www.informationweek.com/verizon-settles-open-source-software-law/206904096

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

The licence conditions are listed in the text. Can we add references to the GFDL text where the conditions can be found?
Example: All previous authors of the work must be attributed<ref>GFDL, section 4. "MODIFICATIONS", lit B.</ref>

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the section: == List of projects that use the GFDL ==

For the Last.fm bullet item: * Last.fm – artists descriptions are under GFDL

Instead of "artists descriptions", it should be one of the below:

- artist descriptions
- artists' descriptions
- descriptions of artists

I would lean towards the first: artist descriptions. Thanks. BackspaceSomethingElse (talk) 23:16, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I replaced it with your first suggestion, thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 23:25, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
