No, this is not ignorance and often leads to problems - so this is
a good hint at least. So Mathieu, if you write to upstream please
ask them kindly whether they might be able to provide the source
files for the documentation (as well as a license for these files).
On the other hand I prefer the pragmatic approach: The user deserves
documentation and if a PDF is there without source it is like an
image that can be changed with an image manipulation program. We
now have programs that can edit PDF (or at least turn PDF into
ASCII and reformat). So considering a PDF as binary without
source is not really helpful.
Kind regards
Andreas.
