Stop. I thought that the GNU project considered all users as potential
programmers and that was the reason behind the GPL. That nobody could
restricted from acting as a developer and forced to act as a mere
consumer of goods.

Maybe I'm wrong. But to me the GFDL does not preserve all useful rights.

I wouldn't care about it if the license was not coming from the FSF. The
problem is that it is being touted as a complimentary license to the GPL
to use on documentation for Free Software projects. But that makes the
documentation considerably less free than the software it describes.
