I too have no problem with public domain when it comes to re-use of Ubuntu docs. However, the problem of importing text, verbatim, from other sources would remain; we would not be able to import anything that is released under the GFDL or cc-by-sa without getting specific approval from each of the authors to allow us to put their work into the public domain. We can't arbitrarily change the license of licensed works, whether it's GFDL->cc-by-sa or GFDL->public domain.
