This isn't avoiding it at all; the DFSG was not renamed to the "Debian
Free Stuff Guidelines". It merely makes it clear that documentation is
included in "software", at least as far as the SC is concerned. You
can change your vocabulary if you want, but I certainly don't like the
idea of giving way to the people trying to change the language to suit
their claims that freedom isn't important for documentation.
