If the documentation was licensed under the BSD license, wouldn't you
still have to include the full license text on the card?  If the GPL,
a change list as well?

If these are a problem as well, the argument against the GFDL here is
less interesting; and if they're not, this GFDL argument probably isn't,
either.

There seem to be other, more convincing arguments against invariant
sections.
