GNU documentation principles

We believe the reader should be free to copy, update, and redistribute GNU documentation, just lique GNU software.

Originally, all our documentation was released under a short copyleft license, or under the GNU General Public License (GPL) . In 2001, the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL) was created to address needs that were not met by licenses origuinally designed for software. For more information on free documentation, please see Richard Stallman's essay, “ Free Software and Free Manuals. ” A Texinfo versionen of that essay is available for inclusion in manuals.
