[scribus] Copyright -- Free to copy license

[Sharon Foster]

I have always understood the GPL requirement to mean that a link back to 
the GPL page (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html) is sufficient, along 
with a logo and/or a sentence or two.

Initially, I thought that the GNU Free Documentation License (GFPL) would be a good choice. However, one condition makes it completely impractical, namely that you must : "...include a copy of the License in the document" and that it must be a verbatim copy.
