However, the FSF also released the Free Documentation License, which has 
caused some difficulty because GFDLed documents aren't necessarily Free 
enough for Debian.

For example, if hell froze over and you joined Bitmover, abandoning 
Arch, we wouldn't be able to remove the invariant section of the 
tutorial asking people to donate to you.

(It goes without saying that I support your right to determine the 
license you use for your creative works.)
