I suggest you read the archives of debian-legal for answers to your questions. In a very brief summary, no one has yet disagreed with the assertion that a work licensed under the OPL is Free if none of the license options are excersied. No one has yet disagreed with the assertion that that works licensed the GNU FDL are Free if there are no Invariant Sections and no Cover Texts. Beyond that, the OPL and FDL have been subjects of argument, and there has been no consensus. -- G.
