This is clearly a matter for the SC. I'd suggest they seek approval from the
FSF to
(a) put suitable terms directly on gcc-common.texi (maybe GFDL without
invariant sections or cover texts, maybe permissive terms);
(b) remove cover texts and invariant sections from manuals that are under 400
pages and not published on paper by the FSF, as per the policies at
<http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Documentation.html>
that do not require such cover texts and invariant sections in that case.
