Since there were similar problems all over the source and we talked
about exactly that issue, this should be covered and fixed by the
author's statement earlier in the bug:
,----
| My intention has always been GPL pure and simple, same as linux.
`----
(I am confident this will be more clear in a new upstream version, but it
doesn't seem as if this new version would be in time for sarge.)

This is still unsettled, I think - the author never said anything about
the GFDL'ed parts, and I wasn't particularly clear in stating that we
think the GFDL is non-free. Therefore I think this must be looked at
again after sarge, but it's one of the usual sarge-ignore RC bugs.
Kind regards, Frank
