Sorry, but there is certainly non-free software that provide freedom
equally to GFDL. Should we consider to put this code also in main? I
say "no" to this. If something is not DFSG-free thant it can not be
put into main. [Footnote: I do accept an adequate timeframe for
removal, but that's just a: "Handle everything with care." It doesn't
change that it must be removed in long term.]
