I remain unconvinced that the freedoms required for documentation are
the same freedoms required for software.  I think the best way to fix
the current situation is to propose the Debian Free Documentation
Guidelines and modify the SC appropriately.  More on this when I have
a first draft.

conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
