I think the rules should allow WGs to make such a decision on a
case-by-case basis.  If the argument is that for patents, WGs should
be permitted to make decisions on a case-by-case basis, I believe WGs
should be permitted to make decisions to use material licensed under
the GPL or similar in a document.  If we trust WGs to make the proper
decisions regarding patents, why don't we do so for copyrights?
