I didn't want this to be a discussion of whether people in general 
should or shouldn't use the GFDL. Rather, I'm interested in what *we* 
*are* going to do, given Debian's (draft) policy on the matter[1], and 
WordPress's existence in Debian[2].

Given that Debian's own draft policy simply says the GFDL is 'not 
recommended', and that it further states that the issue is still  up in 
the air for them

"It has been discussed many times...
 wether [sic] or not Debian should have guidelines for material which is
     _not_ software.  Debian currently does not have such guidelines.."


That being the case, it seems a little ludicrous to base a choice of license on what one distro
of Linux states is their *suggestion* (not bylaw, rule, or
other synonym for 'you have to do it').  

Ultimately, of course, this is Matt's call.
