Not really.
I am probably guilty of not compiling and maintaining such lists.
(See perhaps
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_application_blacklist)
The idea was to decide case by case and only afterwards study if any useful
patterns evolve. We never saw a need for 100% strict a-priori-rules.

GFDL is acceptable for SUSE, at least when used as intended - for
Documentation. 
C-Source under GFDL would be a different matter, probably.
