No. The FDL is not compatible with the GPL, and has many freedom
problems besides. I disagree strongly with the FSF promotion of the FDL
for works; it's needlessly restrictive and divisive.
The current Koha manual is licensed under GPL and that's good because
the manual is licensed compatibly with the programs. The wiki content
licensed under the same terms would be a good move.
