Writing NF modules October2008 edition

[Jan Engelhardt]

I have updated the e-book “Writing your own Netfilter modules” to this 
October's version. What's new? Featurewise, the API changes that have 
gone into net-next-2.6.28 are now mentioned. The work is now available 
under CC 3 too, with some extra clauses that have been suggested during 
talking to you at NFWS.

(.lyx for source)

I would like interested parties and coreteam to give a glance over this 
for any comments, formatting errors, spellos or disagreements with the 
statements provided in the book. Especially section 5.6/5.7 is missing 
checksumming which has been a hard brick even for me.

Feel free to pose specific questions, but I'm afraid I currently
don't have time to review this.

Thank you Jan, this is a nice effort since we lack of updated documentation.

BTW, just one suggestion in terms of licensing. Why not use FDL instead
for licensing? Debian cannot distribute this documentation, in case that
they want to, with the current license AFAIK. Well, licensing is
something personal, I'm also fine with CC in any case.

Too bad for Debian, but the NC clause I consider elementary. And I do 
not see how that interferes with commercial use — remember Walnut Creek 
CDROM (cdrom.com).

But it seems like Debian does not the GFDL so much either — first 
paragraph of “Criticism of the GFDL” on 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFDL

They finally did after one votation in 2006 IIRC. Don't put too much
trust on wikipedia ;)
