Dual-licensing would not avoid these kind of problems, because
users could choose which licence to use and could pick FDL,
which allows licensees to attach unremovable chapters.

See http://www.mysql.de/www/company/legal/licensing/faq.html for
MySQL AB's description of it, or
http://www.lamsfoundation.org/faq/04.html for an explanation
from part of Macquarie University, Australia.

Understood. My request is that you do not require licensors
to use the FDL, as you don't at present.
