FWIW, it's clearly different: the GPL can be used for manuals, but is
not an FDL-compatible licence, because it does not allow addition of
unremovable adverts and the other FDL problems. So, requiring
FDL-compatibility means requiring something less sharing-protective for
the manuals than the GPL. :-/

I can't find my Savannah-FDL links just now.

Hope that explains,
