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.
