Anything with a (C) notice and NO explicit license is NOT DSFG-free. The release-notes for example have no explicit license, but also no (C); I don't know what that would mean for DSFG-freeness. Same with "dselect Documentation for Beginners". Most other docs/manuals are GPL2, but some would argue that that isn't particularly suited for documentation.
