[Savannah-hackers-public] GFDL

The GFDL is a terrible license.  People can add invariant sections and
balkanize the derivative works, defeating the point of copyleft.  For
example, suppose a clever Bush supporter rewrites the documentation in
XML and adds an invariant section denying global warming or praising
'intelligent design'.  I might like to use the XML rewrite, but I don't
want to include their rubbish about global warming.  So now the project
has forked with no easy way to bring it back.
