So a country were you are free to kill a girl without any legal risk
is a country DFSG compliant?

That is not what has been said to you many times. Despite this point being made to you many times without complaint, this time you misinterpret it YET AGAIN. Despite the description from the URL in your signature, I suspect you are doing this deliberately to obstruct debate of the FDL.

I think that the following article explains well why not everybody
agree that texts and softwares require the exact same freedom:
        http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-doc.html

You are entitled to your opinion, which may agree with RMS but may not be the consensus opinion of this list. Personally, I want free manuals and believe that it is desirable for people to have permission to modify the entire manual, not just sections of it. I am not motivated to encourage proprietary manual publishers to produce free manuals. My views are far closer to http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/shouldbefree.html translated to all literary works.
