Make it happen, and then I'll agree that the GFDL is free and suitable for main. I still think the GR outcome is inconsistent with the DFSG, which is why I was also supportive of the "sore loser" [0] GR proposal. It's been almost one year, so long for the FSF fixing the GFDL "real soon now". If the GR had clearly stated "GFDL-licensed works are not free, but we'll accept them anyway until the FSF has fixed it" I may have had less issues with it. But currently, it is blatant hypocrisy.
