Actually, it is obvious that the current GFDL is non-free. Of course,
the these issues are "only" bugs in the way the license is written
(unless the text contains front-/covertexts or otherwise unmodificable
sections), but it still renders the GFDL non-free. I can understand if
you wait for the next GFDL version (and we all hope that it will finally
be free), but that doesn't make the bug non-serious. (And of course,
squashing GFDL-bugs is not very high on my priority list at the current
point in time.)


Cheers,
Andi
