I think you still need to amend the social contract to say which you
use when, which is what has been asked for in the past.
Your document seems flawed. The GFDL does not permit you to make
documentation sections (== the sections documenting the software)
invariant. It does allow other parts of the document/work to be made
invariant, but your guidelines do not seem to permit restriction of
modification of non-documentation unless it is a standard, normative
or historical document. A user manual probably is none of those.
In any case, I strongly disagree that the freedom to modify is not
desirable for documents, even for standards documents, for reasons
previously given on debian-legal.
