  Yes, as far as I've understood the GFDL fails the Debian Free Software
 Guidelines because of the so-called invariant sections.  There is
 currently heavy debate regarding the "non-freeness" of a GFDL-licensed
 work which doesn't have any invariant sections, but it's a can of worms
 I'd rather not open.

  Preferably I'd just regard them as part of the Openbox source
 distribution and thus licensed under the GPL as Openbox itself, if this
 is okay with you?
