The implication of those two votes is that the Project intends that
the 100% of the Debian system must comply with the DFSG.  Since it has
been proven that the GFDL is not a DFSG-free licence, the consequences
are clear.

If we do hold a GR over this decision, I won't be voting any
differently than I did in either of the above votes; my principles
haven't changed since last time I voted.
