    Does the
    fact that the Org-mode manual is under GFDL mean that I cannot
    distribute, separately, a version that I put under GPL?   Or do
    I as the author have the freedom to do just that?

If you're the author of all the text, you can do that.  But please
don't do that.  Please help us by telling Debian that they should
change their policy.
