cat /usr/share/doc/gcc-doc/README

Documentation itself is distributed under the terms of the
GNU Free Documentation License (with invariant sections or
front/back cover texts), which is not DFSG-free,
so documentation could not be distributed in Debian main.

However, for people who need the documentation, it is available
from non-free section of the Debian archive.
/usr/share/doc/gcc-doc/README (END)

Documentation is free when it comes licensed under a free license.
The GNU Free Documentation License *may* be a free license but only
when there are no invariant sections.  Adding those turns it into a
non-free license.  Multiple GNU Project packages have this problem.  :-(

Tragicomically for many people that non-free documentation from the
GNU Project requires adding the non-free suite to their sources.list
is the only reason they now require non-free!

So are man pages not considered free nowadays?

I found the answer in
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/523079/what-packages-the-man-pages-for-gcc-on-debian-10-buster-testing


Basically, add the "contrib" and "non-free" repositories to your deb
sources, then install "gcc-doc".

Looking for the gcc..g++ suite manpages, expected to find them in 'gcc-doc' but 
it's missing.
Anybody point me in the right direction ?
