I'm no longer sure if I'm legally allowed to change the file. It is
marked as a GFDL invariant section, among other files.

Mathieu, is this ``merely a way to ensure that no ugly copy of this
document exists on the internet'' as with your GObject documentation[1]?

Can the invariant sections clause be removed? Otherwise Debian, for
example, might not ship the documentation because invariant sections are
considered DFSG non-free.

And the FSF's opinion on invariant sections from
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto-opt.html#TOC1 is:
	``The idea of invariant sections is that they give you a way to express
nontechnical personal opinions about the topic.''

All the invariant sections in B-A documentation are technical.
