We usually use FDL with no invariant sections, no front and back matter
- so this controversy does not arise in our case.

Currently gnumeric manual carries GPL license. Are there any reasons why

Please note that there is quite a lot of controversy regarding the FDL

archives of the last few months (http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/).
