The goal of this part of the GFDL is to force their (non-free) dogma to be distributed along with their manuals (for various reasons of their own, which are no concern of ours). Value judgements on the content do not belong on debian-legal. If their ultimate goal is to make sure everybody who gets free software understands what it is, then they're going about it completely the wrong way. Most people who get free software never read the manual. > Debian also > does an awful lot to try and make sure too.
