Because you can't make a GPLed program non free against the authors
will.
Neither can you make a GFDLed document non-free against the authors
will/wishes...
I think it is better to simply agree to disagree about the GFDL, just
like one has to agree to disagree about BSD-like licenses vs. copyleft
licenses.
But others have already explained this point very well, and more
than theory real facts shows that.
Not really. People have quoted specific instances, inparticular
Netfilter, where you had one person who wrote the bulk of the work. I
don't know who has written the bulk, or even who the copyright holder
is of the guts of Linux. Maybe you do, but I don't...
Cheers
