You can't get free documentation just by telling a proprietary documentation company to make their books free any more than you can get more free software by telling a proprietary software company to make their software free, yet many people think this is what RMS meant.

To get free documentation we're going to have to make it ourselves, just like Linux, the GNU system, and other free projects had to be created from scratch. -- please read: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ "cry me a bayou/and i'm leaving..." -tricky
