According to http://www.gnu.org/doc/doc.html:
GNU Documentation is unique because of our attitude towards it. We
believe the reader should be free to copy and redistribute it, just
like our software. Originally, all our documentation was released
under a short Copyleft license, or under the GNU General Public
License (GPL) itself; in 2001 the Free Documentation License (FDL)
was created to address certain needs that were not met by licenses
originally designed for software. For more detailed information on
our theory of free documentation, please see Richard Stallman's
essay, "Free Software and Free Manuals." Please help us write more
documentation! Project GNU is a world-wide movement and our software
packages grow every day.
_is_ the essay the definition. (But you can keep your chocolate, I
would like more a moval of the non-free docu to non-free.)
Cheers,
Andi
