Same preference here, especially after reading through some of the
proposed alternatives (no offense to anyone of course). The GPL3/GFDL2
dual licensing Jordi proposed doesn't sound too bad to me, though, if
the FSF decides to start caring about it (see below).

long silence afterward, they don't seem to care much about it.

Well, they already have it on nanorc.5, unless that's an oversight
somehow. Both are things to check...
