"At the same time, we also consider that works licensed under the GNU
Free Documentation License that include no invariant sections do fully
meet the requirements of the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
This means that works that don't include any Invariant Sections, Cover
Texts, Acknowledgements, and Dedications (or that do, but permission to
remove them is explicitly granted), are suitable for the main component
of our distribution."
So I'm not seeing a problem.
Can you clarify where the problem is?
I was initially confused by the wording of GR, too. I'll steal the
explanation from
<http://lists.debian.org/85ac4crw7r....@lola.goethe.zz>:
The text here differentiates between "invariant sections" and "Invariant
Sections", seemingly calling the Cover Texts […] an "invariant section"
which happens not to be the same as an "Invariant Section" defined by
the GFDL.
The wording clearly is fuzzy enough to cause confusion, yet I think that
the gist of the resolution is clear: requiring cover texts of "A GNU
manual" and "You are free to copy and modify this GNU Manual." on
mass-printed copies […] will make Debian consider the documentation
non-free and act accordingly.
