I'm not sure going point-by-point through the text of the license is the best way to proceed; I feel like the main point gets a little lost. For instance, the DRM issues, which RMS has said the FSF will address (eventually), happen to come up first, while I feel the heart of the disagreement is over the invariant sections. At least, I would have some executive summary at the beginning. Peace, Dylan Thurston
