I disagree. Some judges try to look at intentions, some stick to the letter, as the intentions of a license are only guesswork. And how can something which is illegal be moral?

Well, I don't know what 'de minimis' is in your opinion, but surely when we want others to keep to the GFDL, keeping to it ourselves would be the first thing to do. If we say it's okay to break some rules of the GFDL, why not others? If it's okay to not make a title page as required by the GFDL, why is it not okay to not include the full text of the license?
It all boils down to "the spirit of the license". As long as we don't violate the spirit of the license (which we don't), we should be fine. If not legally, then at least morally.
