Debian disagrees with the FSF in some particular cases. GFDL is free unless it contains unmodifiable sections as front or back covers or invariant sections. Please see http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001 Summary: Within the Debian community there has been a significant amount of concern about the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), and whether it is, in fact, a free license. This document attempts to explain why Debian's answer is no. It should be noted that this does not imply any hostility towards the Free Software Foundation, and does not mean that GFDL documentation should not be considered free enough by others, and Debian itself will continue distributing GFDL documentation in its non-free section. Outcome: GFDL-licensed works without unmodifiable sections are free. -- Mohammed Adnène Trojette
