The issue is not about excluding documentation from the program.

The alleged "violation" relates to gnuradio.org using cloudflare, so
that TOR users face a proprietary captcha and are unable to get a copy
of the program or its documentation from the official website. These
users still are able to download a copy of the program via other means,
such as from a distribution packages source archives.
