Civil Law is not meant to be practical. It's meant
merely to be a roadsign that says, "our stuff, our
rules" -- so that later it can look like a breach of
contract, and money can be restituted from the
prostituting party.

Ironically, the notion that "your not supposed to make
$$ off of  X" (as a claim) is kinda antithetical to
the whole notion of lawsuits, which tend to be about
"only Ims supposed to make money off X".  And in the
end, regardless of GNUFDL, a civil win would be
represented (symbolically) in dough.  Otherwise why
would anyone bother forking out for a lair?
