It's not begging the question, because nobody claims the GFDL is a
free software license--not the FSF even.
The FSF claims that "free" means one thing when it applies to
software, and a different thing when it applies to documentation. One
consequence of this is that the FSF now touts a "free documentation
license" which cannot be combined with *any* free software license.
