Ironically, its licence is currently not DFSG compatible, since he wants
to keep control of large print runs; for now it would have to go in
non-free.  He says he may release it to public domain after a year or
so; once he does that it would be free, but since it is just text, why
would it need to be packaged, rather than read from where it is?
