As far as I can see our choices are: (1) Ignoring the GR, which would
mean that our advice would not say anything about how the Debian
Project feels about licences. (2) Accepting the GR as a statement
about the literal meaning of the GFDL, which is simply untrue. (3)
Trying to find some way of understanding the GR that is neither false
nor self-contradictory.

If you have a fourth option that I have overlooked, I would love to
hear about it.
