What freedoms are needed for text?

Two freedoms I expect from free/libre text are:

1. Ability to incorporate portions of that text in my GPL/Apache app (e.g. in a help screen)
2. Ability to include GPL/Apache code in derived versions of that text

The invariant sections in GFDL seem to break both of those.
