To me the much more interesting question is "Given that you can make a distinction between documentation and other software, why do users of documentation not deserve the same freedoms as users of other software?" In other words: what is it about documentation that invalidates some of the freedoms we believe in? And which freedoms? (Frankly, I don't really expect a non-handwavy answer to this one, on the historical basis that if a reasonable answer existed, someone should have thought of it *years* ago, and to my knowledge nobody has.)
