The original founders / authors / coders of LinuxDVB have signed off on this, and that is most important to me. Signed-off-by: Michael Ira Krufky <mkrufky@gmail.com>
Are you still waiting for agreement from any contributors, or is this ready to apply? Ben.

The GNU Free Documentation License allows for a work to specify Invariant Sections that are not allowed to be modified. (Debian considers that this makes such works non-free.) The Linux Media Infrastructure userspace API documentation does not specify any such sections, but it also doesn't say there are none (as is recommended by the license text). Make it explicit that there are none.
