We discussed the Directory's licensing specifically with RMS and he was
quite clear that it should be under the FDL.  The Directory is
documentation and should be under our documentation license accordingly.
 The license of our web pages would be incompatible whether they were
under the old verbatim copying license or CC BY-ND, so I don't think our
recent transition to the latter changes anything here.
