He was active when I asked him on IRC. He asked us to rename the document, so that anyone who wants to write a free replacement of bashref can use the original name. I consider such a rewrite highly unlikely, and to reuse the name of the non-free document imprudent, but he's the maintainer. > In this case I'd just remove the bash-doc binary package from the bash > source package completely, and create a new bash-doc source package that > builds the bash-doc binary package. That wouldn't be appropriate, since there is free content in the current bash-doc, and we shouldn't deprive those users who don't want to install non-free packages from that.
