Thanks very much for that information.

I had not realised how obstructionist RMS has become on this issue,
blocking attempts event to dual-license a document under at least one free
license (the FDL is not a free license by the FSF's own definition), and
insisting that Debian change its social contract to allow non-free works.

Given that entrenched position, the only hope for new freely-licensed FSF
documentation now seems to be for RMS's authority to be over-ruled on this
from within FSF, which could take some time.

It's good to have this to refer back to, so I'm grateful for this
discussion.
