You need to be careful here. The LDP has several licences, some of which are free and some of which aren't. The discussion on debian-legal to which you refer was about http://www.tldp.org/COPYRIGHT.html; however, you're recommending http://www.tldp.org/manifesto.html, which is a different licence and at best requires complicated manoeuvrings to exercise the relicense-under-GPL option before it becomes free. On its own, it's non-free, because it requires derivative works to be sent to the LDP. Please change manifesto.html to COPYRIGHT.html (careful about case - copyright.html is even more non-free ...), and refer to it not as the "boilerplate license" but as the "Linux Documentation Project License v2.0" or "LDPL 2.0".
