I think that if you were to create a sane definition of free
documentation, you would get very close to the definition of free
software or the DFSG. And the GFDL wouldn't pass such a test either.

For me, one required freedom is to modify the whole document as I see
fit. The GFDL currently fails to grant that freedom.
