In GCC, ignoring the GFDL is hard, because there is so much legacy documentation. Before and just after the switch to GFDL, there was some talk about forking the documentation and keeping it GPL'ed. But the FSF is the copyright holder, and the GCC steering committee seems to be more interested in keeping RMS happy than in confronting him about these problems.

Well, than it is time to stand up and do the best for gcc and free software by doing whatever is needed to keep gcc an attractive software for new developers (e.g. IT students).
