Wow, I didn't realise the FSF policy was *that* restrictive. Publishing the manual under both FDL and GPL should satisfy the FSF's legitimate requirements for their work, so I don't know how they justify refusing a manual that happens to also be published under some non-FDL license. Do you have a reference from some FSF official for that restriction? > There are many discussions about this... a can of (dead) worms.
