He seems to say in that link that he *doesn't* claim any ownership of 
the writing system itself.  In any case, the free to use for anybody 
sort of license is basically like the "BSD-style" licenses (or cc-by 
without -sa), which is compatible with both the GFDL and the general 
free-content philosophy.
