As far as I remember it was the omission of the "or later" clause that 
caused the trouble.

They try to make sure, that the projects on Savannah stay compatible to
each other. The omission of the "or later" clause can cause big troubles 
to compatiblity with projects licensed under later versions in the future.

for their official policy see:
http://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php

| For manuals, we allow only GNU FDL version X or later, or other
| licensing which is compatible with that.

P.S.: I like Savannah and I have a project there.
