That's exactly right - if they take the stance that cc-by-sa
documentation is non-free, then they are likely to object to the GFDL
too, which is even worse, and then they are going to have to take out
all of the desktop documentation which Ubuntu and Gnome ship, as well as
quite a lot of other documentation.

My feeling is that the project is likely to have enough to do without
worrying about removing documentation released under licenses which fall
within most people's definition of "free". But, we'll see.
