From what you say, "logiciel" appears fine for their purpose.
It is already very hard to promote the Logiciel Libre in France. I
think that emcumbering it with your view described at the end of this
message would not be helpful at all.
That view is not a requirement for support of free software.
Your argument against the GFDL invariant section applies to texts in a
non-software form. So basically, your point of view is not
specifically computing related.
This does not invalidate the reasoning for the software form. I
believe that it can be generalised, but it is not necessary to believe
that.
[I advocate free works in all media]
This view clearly have an influence on your usage of the word software
in the Debian case.
Like hell. My school computing lessons have a larger influence.
