Neither I am lawer. But according to current description of `license-problem-gfdl-invariants' tag and discussions I had what I packaged GNU Complexity a while ago, current consensus is that GFDL-1.2+ is fine, as long there is no + invariant sections + invariant back cover text + invariant front cover text cflow=1.4 had invariant front cover with text "GNU manual", so it was considered non-dfsg, but cflow=1.5 removed this front cover clause. Actually, taking look at source code, I found problem: Lintian expects(cruft.pm:1379) matches first, but not second: with no invariant sections, no Front-Cover and no Back-Cover texts with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover and Back-Cover texts Wording in cflow manual miss second `no' word. I believe regex in Lintian could be relaxed a bit.
