The problem is using one thing as media for unrelated stuff. As most
people would just remove the unrelated stuff (so it fits to their need
as it reduces paper cost, disk usage, increases usability in a
particular media), FSF made it invariant to make sure it will be there.
IMHO, adding other invariant sections to subvert the first will not
solve the problem, as you still won't be able to just remove it so it
fits to your needs (as stated in the freedom 1, which clearly is the
direct reference, and the real meaning, of DFSG3).
It can be argued that software must be treated in a different way than
texts, documentation and other works. But Debian has already decided to
treat it in the same way.
I can see no workarounds without modifications in GFDL.
Considering the pourpose of the invariant sections is to preserve the
author's integrity (in the sense of DFSG4), a reasonable solution is
requiring derived works to change the work's name before removing
invariant sections.
Was this already suggested to FSF?
