I asked that on d-legal recently (in response to the seventieth "license
texts are unmodifiable, so we should give up and allow everything to be!"-
esque argument, if I remember correctly), and Jacobo Tarrio started work
on a FAQ. I havn't looked at it much yet; my impression is that it's too
verbose--such a thing needs to be as brief as possible to convey the point,
or it won't work very well--but I havn't had time yet to put together any
suggestions.
The most convincing arguments are the ones that have been presented on lists,
in the course of discussions, and extracting those is probably the best
bet--except that the particularly well-thought-out responses are buried
among a couple thousand other mails ...
