So how about a set of Debian Free Documentation Guidelines in addition
to the DFSG? Documentation is not Software and thus imo different rules
apply to them. Imo for a docs it is enough if it is allowed to be
redistributed and quoted while restricting modification is not
necessary. Docs available for free redistribution and quoting do provide
more freedom than commercial docs and this imo needs to be taken into
account.
As a solution to this problem a set of Free Documentation Guidelines
(propably with the introduction of a doc/restricted section) is
feasable.
