Eh ? So why are we removing *all* the GFDLed docs, then ? When did
this Project stop being militant ?

Yes, IIRC, it was a bit more relaxed.
We did not ship Qt and KDE until they fixed their license; we're
removing all the GFDL docs; we're removing every firmware we can find
in the distro. Let's remove anything that falls under the Mozilla
trademark policy, or we're clearly creating a double-standard.
