Rewriting programs for political/legal reasons alone is also something
people don't like; it's a waste of time. Jerome's argument applies to
software as much as documentation.
Non-free is non-free. Non-free stuff, such as the Emacs manual, doesn't
belong in main, regardless of whether it's software or something else.
(The fact that it's the FSF promoting this non-freeness is disturbing
but irrelevant.)
