It seems to me that the Bibletime HowTo manual license is non-free (does
not permit modification).

While the bibletime web site states GPL as the license for the software,
it is not at all clear that this applies to the howto. In fact, the
sensible interpretation here seems to be that the howto was distributed "with
the BibleTime software" as it says in its license; hence it is not
_part_ of the software and not covered by the GPL.
