I don't see why ...
sure, the 'link' part are not very obvious for documentation. so maybe=20
GPL or an BSD style is better.

I never understood how this is possible to dual-license sth. can I=20
choose the license I prefer when I take the work under both licenses ?=20
or does the author choose for me under which he gives me his work ? or=20
does both apply ? how do you merge ?

moreover, GFDL is not (L)GPL compliant AFAIK, so it's very curious.

but if that's possible, and enough for DFSG ... then maybe it's the=20
solution
=2D-=20
