Because the manual is part of GNU Emacs, which is part of the GNU

While I would have long to say, here, I rather censor myself, mostly.
I sometimes happen to think that the GDFL happened not so long after
Richard Stallman and I had a harsh and long dispute about the GNU tar
manual.

Hi Alan,
thanks for chiming in. As Achim quoted, the GFLD says that the license should
be in the document, but that makes the GFDL almost unfit for anything below a
book.

printed versions of the document. I find i

Hi,
I am wondering, are we required to include the full text of the GFDL in the
manual? I find it a big waste of space and feed that a link should do. But I
have not been able to find the rules that say what needs to be included in a
document distributed under GFDL?
Thanks
