I have some questions:
1: Would Debian accept something like the BSD documentation license (with or
without the copyright notice requirements) as an alternative dual license to
the GPL?
(See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/LEGALNOTICE.html )
2: Would Debian accept an exception clause along the lines of the Qt license
exception clause, excising the objectionable parts of the FDL?
3: Specifically are there any other licenses I didn't mention (and which
versions of those licenses) that are acceptable to Debian as either
3a: The sole license on a document, or
3b: A dual license along with FDL as we use it today.
