This is simplistic. No-one seriously here is opposed to the philosophy 
of free content.  Free content is a concept; GFDL and CC are licences.  
In the same way an apple tree can have different varieties of the fruit 
grafted upon it.  The licences are fruit which imply the presence of a 
common trunk, but the presence of the trunk says nothing about the fruit 
that are grown there.
