Hi,
  I seem to remember reading some Stallman, where he talked about free
documentation. I think he wrote (amongst other things) about O'Reilly
books, and how he thought they where hurting software, because the
documentation was not allowed (by O'Reilly) to be free. Do you know what
the O'Reilly politics is when it comes to free documentation?

Soren

P.S. Just to be sure: I'm talking about free as in speech.
