As someone who can't vote and thus whose opinion doesn't matter, it
seems to me that the issue is that people may actually want to vote
multiple ways:
1. debian-legal is wrong, the GFDL is compatable with the DFSG and
thus should be included in main.
2. I know the GFDL isn't compatable with the DFSG but I think it
should be allowed in main anyway.
3. I know the GFDL isn't compatable with the DFSG but the DFSG is only
for software not documentation, so it's allowed in main for
documentation only. :)
It seems that some people see the vote as meaning 1 and others want
meaning 2. The latter would seems to require changing the SC, the
former wouldn't.
