The About Licensing page cannot be edited by me (I am a Drupal.org webmaster and a member of the LWG).

I've spotted some minor errors (i.e. typos and wrong cross-references) and propose the corrections listed below. I hope that this is the right place to get them fixed.

  1. In question 8, it says: "Note that for Drupal, template files are PHP code." This should be changed to "Note that for Drupal up to and including version 7, template files are PHP code. For Drupal 8 and later, template files are Twig code."
  2. In question 9, the phrase "See question 8 below" should be "See question 10 below".
  3. In question 11, the phrase "See questions 6 and 7 above" should be "See questions 8 and 9 above".
  4. In question 13, there is a reference to "Mollom". Mollom is obsolete, and should be deleted. Perhaps "Facebook" can be used as an example instead?
  5. In question 13, the sentence "The Free Software Foundation maintains a list of popular GPL-compatible licenses" should be changed to: "The Free Software Foundation maintains a list of popular GPL-compatible licenses and the Drupal LWG maintains a list of licenses compatible with GPL-2.0-or-later and GPL-friendly licenses."

Thanks for the detailed write up.

I'm going to move this to the Content project where I think it might be more likely to the attention of someone who does have permission to edit the page. And if that doesn't work, maybe ping hestnet or someone from the DA in Slack and bring this issue to their attention.

That page is editable only from Drupal Association's employees. Pinging them is the quicker way to make them know of what needs to be changed in that page.

I have done the edits suggested in the issue description.
For point 4, I changed from "Mollom" to "Salesforce".

Please review to make sure I got all the changes right.

The link for question 11 needs to be changed from https://www.drupal.org/about/licensing#commercial to https://www.drupal.org/about/licensing#commercial-use. (This has not been reported in the issue summary, though.)
