This is not correct.
The FSF, through RMS, has officially claimed that documentation does not need
the same freedoms as programs, and furthermore has stated that the GFDL is
not a free software license (they appear to be using "software" to mean
"programs").
If Debian decides that the GFDL is not a "free software" license, then it is
*agreeing* with the FSF. On that one point.
