Right. I'll send a separate patch adding it to deprecated/
together with GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later, which is used
at the media uAPI documentation. There, GFDL 1.1 is used both
together with GPL (dual licensed is required for new files) and 
alone (for the legacy document files).

Thanks for reviewing! Yeah, indeed I mangled this one. It
should be, instead:

	GFDL-1.2-no-invariants-only

https://spdx.org/licenses/GFDL-1.2-no-invariants-only.html

I'll send a second version fix it.

Thanks,
