it's much too complicated to deal with. Of course we must (should?)
allow a motivated author to use a special licence, but we should also
insist for having a really free licence and this don't seems to be
obvious in the doc world. We should also be aware that we use to have
on stock the man pages with they own licence (more on this later)

I read all GFDL litterature (mostly by RMS) and think now that GFDL
without invariant is the one we should have
