Scott, I am familiar with those arguments; there are just as many
against using Creative Commons, the public domain, etc.
It's always a matter of choosing the lesser of evils...in this case, the
GFDL. :) The primary objections to the GFDL have to do with front/back
covers, invariant texts, etc, all of which are eliminated in the
specific wording (authorized by the GFDL) chosen for the
copyright/license statement listed in the Docs guidelines.
