I don't read debian-legal, but I've read some of the messages referenced from DWN. I don't agree.
It is very easy to write "I don't agree" but it is not an argument. I suggest you explain your reasons for not using this normal definition of software, else I will dismiss you as an irrational.
including the one where Bruce Perens clarified that the DFSG were written to apply to everything in debianYeah, I saw that one. This means that we cannot include stuff like software licenses in Debian, which in turn means that we cannot really distributed Debian itself. Thus it's a void argument.
That does not follow. You seem to have some faulty assumption that you are not disclosing. Deduction of this absurdity should have alerted you to a problem with your reasoning.
