Why is different the "free" as in freedom concept for documentation from
the concept of "free" as in freedom for "software"?

Why does FSF have two distinct opinions about the adequate level of
freedom for manuals and for software?

There is no doubt that free software needs free documentation, even FSF
says this. If so, why does FSF allow restrictions to modifications of
documentation (using FDL) that does not allow for software?

There is people that thinks software is the conjuction of programs and
their documentation (and other thing, like images, etc.). For example,
Debian project seems to think this way.

Why limit modification of documentation of a free program, if we do not
want that limit for the program itself and if the documentation is
necessary?
