So I find it ironic (and a little absurd) that a disagreement over who's

You aren't making any sense.
I'm not??
Hummmm...It wouldn't be the first time, but let me simplify and
try again. :-)
Debian says ... "The only path to truly free software is to
follow the DFSG - it's perfect."
FSF say.... "The only path to truly free software is to follow
the GFDL - it's perfect."
Many in the Free Software Movement consider Debian and Ubuntu to
be not "free" enough because they contain "non-free" software.
It's one of the prime reasons for the startup of gNewSense.
Debian considers the FSF GFDL to be not "free" enough so
documentation that is GFDL is moved into the section of
distribution that the Free Software folks think should not even
be there.... Huh!
You don't think that's ironic?? I certainly do.
By the way several users have stated that it's not about DRM.
That may very well be true, but I have still not found anything
that confirmed that Debian has accepted and/or found that the DRM
restrictions did not apply. It could be that I read rapidly right
past that info, but my brain began to hurt again so I quit.
