5. was far from the last Many times we have heard a GNU user eagerly describe a manual that he is writing his intended contribution to the community only to learn that he had ruined everything by signing a publication contract to make it non free Free documentation like free software is a matter of freedom not price The problem with the non free manual is not that publishers charge a price for printed copies that in itself is fine The Free Software Foundation sells printed copies of manuals too The problem is the restrictions on the use of the manual Free manuals are available in source code form and give you permission to copy and modify Non free manuals do not allow this The criteria of freedom for a free manual are roughly the same as for free software Redistribution including the normal kinds of commercial redistribution must be permitted so that the manual can accompany every copy of the program both on line and on paper Permission for modification of the technical content is crucial too When people modify the software adding or changing features if they are conscientious they will change the manual too so they can provide accurate and clear documentation for the modified program A manual that leaves you no choice but to write a new manual to document a changed version of the program is not really available to our community Some kinds of limits on the way modification is handled are acceptable For example requirem
