Something like this.  Or even that generally it's okay, but we can make
occasional exceptions to *not* include such a work.  This is where the
irreplacable human judgement comes in.  We just don't know what crappy ideas
people will come up with to write bullet-proofs policies for that.

I have no technical worries about invariant non-technical sections.
As to the political/moral worries about it, we can just deal with it as it
happens as we deal with software that has similar problems (anarchy package,
fortunes offensive etc).

Thanks,
Marcus
