And the actual user manuals, are of course, to be in future referred to as 
"chopped liver".

It's the license used for all the chopped liver in KDE, we specify no 
invariant sections.  It's written by the FSF.  It's the recommended license 
for Documentation, by the FSF and gnu.org.  Yet Debian say it's not "free" 
enough?  Sheesh.

It's definitely *not* the license I would choose to use, and I think it's very 
difficult to apply to a website in any form. Personally, I would recommend 
one of the very short ones - BSD or X11 license, or the slightly reworded to 
apply to docs instead of sources FreeBSD documentation license.
