While the FSF may have established that they're willing to ignore certain crucial freedoms for data and documentation, Debian hasn't done anything similar. That stuff licensed under the GFDL has made it into main doesn't contradict this; I can give you examples of stuff that's been unlicensed or has been non-free that's also made it into main, if you really like. KDE is the most straightforward example. It's something Debian's needed to actually think about for quite some time.
