Simplification, FDL is a little used licence and keeping it would mean we couldn't share content the CC licenced sources. It serves no special purpose. It has a poor reputation due to the unused non-free options and it isn't maintained so if there's a problem with it we'd have nobody to back us up. Jonathan
