...mostly relating to invariant sections, IIRC. Would you declare
parts of the design to be invariant? How would you feel about people
translating the assembly instructions?
IANAL, but I don't think the FDL has received as much legal scrutiny
as the GPL. This is probably due to the notion that most of a
project's intellectual property is contained in the code, as opposed
to the documentation, and so the code license is debated and trampled
on by the lawyers first.
