If you think that, how about: it was up to the authors of the DFSG to decide what it applies to.

But a political stand about computers within a documentation describing the software does not seems a problem to me: it documents the software!
It's not a problem to Debian either, but you must make it free software.
It's the purpose of the documentation. While at the contrary, including the manifesto within emacs, for instance, does not require a protection (it's not a part of the software and can be safely removed, if present).
I don't understand this section. We cannot remove the GNU Manifesto from the Emacs manual, can we? (I'd rather we didn't, anyway, but it looks like we must.)
