What!? how could this possibly be? Why would the GNU FDL be stricter than ordinary copyright law?
To ensure freedom to redistribute.
Otherwise someone could take a GNU FDL document add sections to it, and claim that the additions were taken under "fair use" from another document, now if someone else comes along who wants to modify the additions they wouldn't be able to as the new "fair use" sections wouldn't be governed by GNU FDL.
