official documents and existing documentations.

You should to leran to use search engines and wikipedia to get such an
complicated thing answered. Selfstudy is an essential skill needed to
dig things around this FOSS world.
As for the basics of DFSG,
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debianフリーソフトウェアガイドライン;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_Free_Software_Guidelines
As for GFDL (as mentioned by others) for Debian
http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001
we chose ammendment A (= option 2)
As you can see from the result, we have different opinions on this
matter and this is the formal decision. You should read all these
proposal to see how we consider GFDL.
As for the basic Debian history,
http://www.debian.org/doc/misc-manuals#history
(Japanese translation exists ...)
Also, you should read see a Japanese document to the government which
descrives something about your question.
