Probably. See bug#92810, which probably needs more attention. > AIUI, the GNU Open Publication License also allows authors to restrict > the right of making modifications to parts of the documentation.

So I think it is ok with DFSG. The documentation of the info and texinfo packages are placed under GNU FDL, and both are in main. Probably affects other packages as well. There's also the Open Publication License (not from GNU) which I am less familiar with. -- Robbe
