In any event, I believe the recent GR clearly states that, for the purposes of the Social Contract, documentation is software. (Otherwise, the DFSG would simultaneously have been renamed to the "Debian Free Stuff Guidelines".) That's just my interpretation of the GR. It doesn't seem controversial to me, since I don't believe that any interesting or convincing arguments have been made that documentation is not software. I suspect we'll disagree on this, of course. :) -- Glenn Maynard
