Hi,

Not meaning to interpret licensing, but to me that means I can't copy/paste sections into end product documentation, and ship the product for a fee...
That's how it is currently, yes.
Was that the intent?
Not really - but I'll better let Wolfgang answer that question as he came up with the original licence text.
Originally this actualy has been my intent. But that was a long, long time ago, back when I was writing all these documentation only by myself.
It is on my priority list however to assemble a list of all contributors and ask them if they agree to relicence their contributions under the FDL.
Consider my permission as granted :-)
I assume - no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts? or did you desire something else?
Since Front-Cover Text is limited to 5 words, and Back-Cover Text is limited to 25 words - how about (as Back-Cover Text) "This manual includes sections from the Das U-Boot documentation, which can be found at http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot and is copyright it's authors. Included under the Free Documentation License (v1.3)"
