Thomas Bushnell is no longer Hurd maintainer
RMS defends the GFDL because it gives users all of the *useful* freedoms they need. The GPL also restricts certain actions, but only non-useful actions.
You didn't differentiate between the GPL and the GFDL with this comment: you're saying both restrict only non-useful actions. Thomas Bushnell says "It is not possible to borrow text from a GFDL'd manual and incorporate it in any free software program whatsoever." To me, that certainly looks like an useful freedom to have.
