That's not what I was told.
Add a "some" in there. Many do, many don't. Many GNU projects don't
have documentation under the GFDL, many do.
It is still a weak claime to require GFDL documentation because we
cannot borrow documentation from other GNU projects in GNU projects.
So lets please not get into tangents like this.
I quote the new GNU maintainer onboarding email I received in September:
