GFDL is an unspeakable Cthulhu-grade horror if you go anywhere deeper
than the surface. It's amazing how little types of stuff it actually
makes sense from; no-one knows what the hell would happen in a serious
courtroom stoush given the already vast disparity between the letter
of the license and widespread practice.

Learn from Wikipedia's HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE MISTAKE. Don't go there.
Whatever you do.
