Here is how I have been doing it in the documents I'm testing with
Nautilus:

   Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this
   document under the terms of the <ulink type="help"
   url="gnome-help:fdl"><citetitle>GNU Free Documentation
   License</citetitle></ulink>, Version 1.1 or any later version published
   by the Free Software Foundation with no Invariant Sections, no
   Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.

Does this seem correct?

Also, shouldn't fdl.sgml be in $PREFIX/gnome/help/fdl/C/ ?
                                                      ^
And while including the fdl in gnome-libs seems the most practical
solution in technical terms, does that meet the requirement (?) to 
include a copy of the fdl with the document?
