-If you know someone who is writing a manual about free software, and looking
-towards commercial publication, you have a chance to help the Free Software
-Movement a great deal with a small amount of work: by suggesting the idea of
-publishing the manual under the
-<a href="/copyleft/fdl.html">GNU Free Documentation License</a>.</p>
-<p>
-Until recently, commercial book publication almost always implied a non-free
-book.  But just as free commercial software has been increasing for a while,
-now free commercial documentation is starting to take off as well.  Some of
-the major commercial publishers of documentation about the
-<a href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html">GNU/Linux system</a>,
-and about free software in general, are now willing to publish books under
-the GNU FDL, and pay the authors in the usual way--IF the authors are firm
-about this.</p>
-<p>
-But publishers are likely to first propose an ordinary proprietary book.
-And if the authors agree, that's what it will be.  So it is essential for
-authors to take the lead; to say, "We want to use the GNU FDL for this
-book".  So when your friend mentions writing a manual, you can influence the
-course of events simply by pointing out this possibility.</p>
-<p>
-If a publisher rejects the request at first, the GNU Project may be able to
-help the authors prevail.  They can contact us at
-<a href="mailto:address@hidden";>&lt;address@hidden&gt;</a>.</p>
-<p>
-There are <a href="/licenses/license-list.html#DocumentationLicenses">other</a>
-legitimate free documentation licenses, but sometimes using
-them requires care.  For example, one license is equipped with two optional
-clauses that can be enabled; the license is free if neither optional clause
-is used, but enabling either of them makes the book non-free.  (See
-<a 
href="/licenses/license-list.html">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html.</a>)
  Authors that want to
-publish free documentation, but using a license other than the GNU FDL, can
-contact us so we can check that the license really qualifies for free
-documentation.</p>
-<p>
-When a commercial manual is free and relates to the GNU system, the GNU
-Project can recommend it to the public.  So if the authors or publisher set
-up a web page to describe it and/or sell copies, we can make a link to that
-page from <a href="/home.html">www.gnu.org</a>, provided the
-page meets our usual criteria (for
-instance, it should not link to other pages about non-free software or
-documentation, and should not be obnoxious about trying to persuade people
-to buy).  Please inform
-<a href="mailto:address@hidden";>&lt;address@hidden&gt;</a>
-about such pages.</p>
