What license would you recommend for those who like the FDL but are unwilling to reveal their LaTeX sources?
I would recommend a psychotherapy session first. How can one "like the FDL" but simultaneously not want to give recipients the source to the software? That's fundamental to the goals of the license.
Clearly, the goals of these people are not compatible with freedom of the work.

Rather, the license encourages publishing source in all cases, to avoid exactly the issue you're describing.
hardly the intention of a free license.
It's also hardly the intention of a free license to permit restricting the freedom of recipients of the work. That seems to be at odds with the goals of the people you represent.
