I'm going to assume for a moment that if something is program-DFSG
free, it'll be documentation (DFDG, maybe?) free as well.
This would pretty much mean only ASCII and maybe HTML documentation is
subject to the documentation guidelines. DocBook, TeX, PostScript, etc.
are all either clearly programming languages (they are Turing-complete)
or have a source and compiled form.
Notably, the GNU manuals are written in TeX. So they'd be subjected to
the DFSG. So creating a documentation version would accomplish....
nothing.
