? I see various GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later documentation in
userspace-api/media notably, do they have such build restriction? What
is actually posing problem in the GFDL licence?

I don't know about Collins' opinion on this, Cc-ing him with the latest
mail my archives know for him (which dates 2008...)

The copyright "the Speakup Team" is a more complex thing to look for.
