This is a very important point. I have stated before that I would not have
serious objections to the FSF issuing a small number of non-free manuals for
a good reason, as it has been doing for 15 years. (Nearly the entire GNU

only, so there's further precedent for the GNU Project distributing non-free
material.)
What about DFSG FAQ draft? Do you think this can be applied to FDL
documentation?
# Q: Does whether some software is free depend solely on its license?
A: Almost always, but there are rare exceptions. When necessary we take
other considerations into account. So two packages with the same license
could be judged differently based on extra-license comments the
copyright holder has made regarding intent or interpretation, or based
on how the contents of the package interact with license stipulations.
