By the terms of <URL:http://freedomdefined.org/>.

The FSF maintains that the FDL is free, but they manage this by
partitioning freedom differently for different cultural works and
ignoring the flaws in such artificial distinctions.

For cultural works, the CC-BY or CC-BY-SA licenses are far simpler and
actually free terms.

A detailed discussion would be rather off-topic for this forum, so I'll
just point to <URL:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_FDL#Criticism>.
