The upstream author is already dual-licensing a version of his documentation, available at: http://orgmode.org/org_dual_license.texi It's the version that I use in my package; I agree my phrasing in debian/copyright is slightly misleading, perhaps it should read more something like: org-mode's manual is dual licensed under the GPL, and GFDL with the following restrictions: [...] Or not mention the GFDL restrictions at all, since we use the GPL licensing of the documentation anyway ?
