Sure, that's a nice analysis.  What do you propose to do about it?
Debian would be quite happy to distribute modifiable political speech
(with suitable provisions for protecting the author's integrity), but
the FSF has not shown any interest in considering that possibility;
and most DDs posting here seem quite firm in the view that
unmodifiable political speech is not allowed.
