As the GNU project uses TeX in its several TeXinfo-written manuals
(e.g., the GNU Emacs Manual), I am curious how a GNU Project/Free
Software Foundation viewpoint would see the TeX Users Group (TUG).  I
know TUG does important work in charting the future path of TeX, etc.
On the other hand one must pay a membership fee in order to access,
say, their TUGBoat publication.  One couldn't just FTP it and print it
out.  Would TUG be seen as "information hoarders"?

[Perhaps this is a little different than the TeX and LaTeX books, as
they have already been copyrighted years ago by their publishers, I
presume, and could not as easily be legally, say, put under anonymous
FTP next month.]

Post rather than e-mail replies.
