Emacs is a perfect example. The documentation can be integrated into emacs as context-sensitive help. We cannot then distinguish. Since pretty much all documentation *could* have this integration done, we can't usefully distinguish at all. (In fact, the GFDL licence for the Emacs manual may make integrating it as context-sensitive help into the GPLed Emacs legally impossible. Ugh.) <snip> > For instance, does the GNU manifesto as invariant section hurt? I say yes. I don't want to have to put it into my (hypothetical) context-sensitive help file for emacs, which consists of extracts from the GNU Emacs manual! I'm not even sure where to put it legally! This follows from the above, of course. :-) --Nathanael
