  GDB is a complex program.  There is an excellent Info manual (`info
  gdb'), which is available in the separate gdb-doc package.  gdb-doc is
  not part of Debian main; it is available in the non-free distribution
  (because it is covered by the GNU Free Documentation License).

The manual contains "invariant" sections and so does not comply with the
DFSG.
