        Hmm. If the software is free, I can then change the software
 to remove the specific behaviour being warned against; but the
 documentation still contains a incorrect, and irremovable warning. 

        I supppose I can tack on even more irremovable text to counter
 the warning (perhaps confusing the users).

        I would consider that not free for other electronic entities;
 I consider it similarily limiting when it comes to the
 documentation.
