Fonts or documentations are not softwares, for god's sake!

Good idea. I wish all users could install Debian on their
exotic-firmware-enabled-network card and wifi-aware laptop (which is not
the case currently) instead of saying "shit, this crap is just not working

But I still consider documentation different than softwares, and don't see
any major problem regarding the FDL.
