Wow, I didn't realise the FSF policy was *that* restrictive.
Publishing the manual under both FDL and GPL should satisfy the FSF's
legitimate requirements for their work, so I don't know how they justify
refusing a manual that happens to also be published under some non-FDL
license.
Do you have a reference from some FSF official for that restriction?

Agreed, thank you.
