Hi yann, any progress on this ? if you can make upstream confirm that
the material is licensed under the GFDL with no invariant sections and
such, this year GR makes it DFSG-free.

  though I agree that only the PDF intro document speaks about GFDL,
current licensing state of that package is unclear and need to be
clarified.
