IIRC, most licences are licensed under their own terms, so aren't invariant, except as needed by copyright law. GPL and LGPL are also named in the 10th DFSG. Maybe because their non-free bit is easily detached and I guess most of us like most of what it says anyway. Maybe the preambles aren't a bug (thanks to someone reminding me).
