I think that to satisfy DFSG #8, the same offer would have to be available to other distros as well (maybe with some neutral condition, like a track record of producing quality distributions).

In fact I'd almost certainly think that to be the case. The DFSG can be annoying but it is well intentioned - specifically, rule 8 is clearly meant well but in some cases leads to this level of negotiation being necessary. Sometimes I think Debian is too organised for its own good :-)
