Quoting Matthew Garret:
	 If I submit a patch to GCC including documentation with an
	 invariant section describing why "Open Source" is a preferable
	 term to "Free Software", the invariant section must be included
	 if my documentation is to be used. Theoretically, this may not
	 be an issue - pragmatically, it results in a situation where a
	 patch under the same license as the original documentation
	 cannot be accepted.
