-<h3>Introduction to GNU Documentation Principles</h3>
-
 <p>
-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 
-<a href="/licenses/licenses.html#WhatIsCopyleft">Copyleft</a> license, or 
under 
-the <a href="/licenses/licenses.html#GPL">GNU General Public License (GPL)</a> 
-itself; in 2001 the <a href="/licenses/licenses.html#FDL">
-Free Documentation License (FDL)</a> 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 
-<a href="http://www.stallman.org/";>Richard Stallman's</a> essay,
-&ldquo;<a href="/philosophy/free-doc.html">Free Software and Free
-Manuals</a>&rdquo;.
-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,

+<h3>GNU documentation principles</h3>
+
+<p>We believe the reader should be free to copy, update, and
