My copy of the DFSG does not say "The license must allow all modifications
and derived works, ..."
The issue I've been addressing is the distinction between what the DFSG
actually says, and how it is interpreted.
What it actually says isn't enough for our purposes -- you could say
it's too tolerant of licensing problems. Unfortunately, the way that
we express how it's interpreted is also inadequate -- what we say we do
is actually less tolerant than what we actually implement. There's too
many corner cases.
