"""
  Does Fedora permit anything under "Non-Free" licensing?

When it comes to software or fonts, the answer is definitely no. We strongly
prefer that items classified as content (see Code Vs Content) are under a Free
license, but we only require that they be freely distributable without
restrictions.

I think a manual is content as opposed to code and therefore freely
distributable is ok.
