Documentation of the GNU Project

Introduction to GNU Documentation Principles

GNU Documentation is unique because of our attitude towards it. We believe the reader should be free to copy and redistribute it, just like our software. Originally, all our documentation was released under a short Copyleft license, or under the GNU General Public License (GPL) itself; in 2001 the Free Documentation License (FDL) was created to address certain needs that were not met by licenses originally designed for software. For more detailed information on our theory of free documentation, please see Richard Stallman's essay, “ Free Software and Free Manuals”. Please help us write more documentation! Project GNU is a world-wide movement and our software packages grow every day. For information on how to help, click Here.
