If I might reinterpret your comments a tad more abstractly, I take it
you're saying that the document exceeded the mandate of its title,
since it discusses free software license issues in general; and that
it has insufficient global structure.  Is that right?  These both seem
like reasonable points.

It does seem reasonable to try to address common Debian-relevant
license-related questions in one document, including both questions
about the DFSG itself and about the penumbra of license-related
issues.  So I changed the title to try to make it a bit broader!  Lack
of global structure is a problem, and I'd very welcome someone else
making a serious editing pass---especially one that tried to impose a
coherent global structure on beast.
