I think that a better idea might be to better define what is and isn't allowed in the "invariant sections" defined by the FDL. I'm also not a fan of the potential abuse of these sections, but still think that the FDL is a fine license assuming some policy is set forth regarding the use/abuse of these invariant sections. On the other hand, if you genuinely feel that the license is too restrictive for the end user (especially with many of the requirements in the "modifications" section), then perhaps the other extreme (simply licensing under a BSD-style license) is ok? -drew -- M.
