The point is that this specific gauge choice introduces a non-linear photon field self interaction. So, this model is analyzed in a BRST framework in analogy to the non-Abelian cases. Finally, we show that the asymptotic transverse photon modes are the same as that of the linear gauge well known case while just the non-physical longitudinal sector get renormalized by such gauge self interaction. Then the physical gauge independence is explicitly verified. Instituto de Física Teórica (UNESP) São Paulo State University, P.O.
