The main problems with GFDL {{tag|GNU license}} stem from the fact that it does not just create one giant pool of undifferentiated GFDL material.  If it did, all GFDL [[user]]s could simply keep all GFDL material properly segregated.  But GFDL contemplates an audit trail, with regard to the history, [[Editor|authors]], dedication annotations, etc of the material.  A simple concept.  More feasible with contemporary computers than previously.  But still almost impossible to actually implement fully.
