This is about GFDL license of the ICON and CSS template files under

 hmm that content is all GFDL license, anyone know if I need to specify this 
per file or can I do it in one place?

Files under
 /usr/share/publican/Common_Content/brand-template/images/*.png
 /usr/share/publican/Common_Content/common/*/css/*.css
as installed in the system from these template files should be in the
permissive license following the other GNU tools such as autoconf,
automake, libtrool, ...  :-)

FYI: The CSS should be in code like license.  GFDL does not make sense
for CSS. The code parts of this package are licensed mostly under:
 License: Artistic | GPL-1+

So if asked properly, upstream may not say GFDL for ICONS and CSS.

Only document text data *.xml should use GFDL, IMHO.

PS: Now Debian release notes and other DDP files use CSS inspired by
this CSS.  Since I wanted to document it in the upcoming debmake-doc
package properly, I came to check this license situation.
