I think there are just some purists with a particular attitude that
doesn't make sense to me. You're allowed to use the manual, make as many
copies as you want, modify it if you like, give it to anyone you like.
Seems pretty free to me. Must be some Richard Stallman disciple in the
background.

We might think about offering our own RPM at scribus.net, complete with
docs, or perhaps offering the docs as a separate package -- nothing gets
compiled anyway, it's just a matter of Scribus finding them.
