Benjamin, I don't think that's fair. if you give other's points in the 
strongest light you can or in their own words and still say you disagree, 
that is one thing. When a person with a different view, reads your paper and 
doesn't think his position is addressed, that is another.

I think your paper fell short in this way.

First, we would need to be clear that from Debian's point of view, you are 
really only interested in BY and BY-SA creators in the first place.

I can tell you one thing. As for BY-SA creators, I don't know how many of us 
there are. It certainly feels lonely around here. Most seem to love NC and ND 
in their licenses.
