This is an interesting point in case.

He shares this idea with rms, who uses the GFDL for a similar goal.

*Huge* parts of the community do not share that idea. There's a reason  
Debian, for example, sees the GFDL as a non-free license. A number of more  
and less prominent *gcc developers* (people who assign their copyrights to  
rms' FSF) share this particular concern and think that text *should* be  
under the same kind of free licenses as software.

So be careful with statements about representing these people!
