My reading of the licence is that one can print the manual for their own 
use if they see fit, and could even distribute in a class. This is not 
the same as publishing in print form, which is the only thing restricted.

I certainly agree with Laszlo that a heated discussion about this is not 
productive, and not something users in general want to see.
We're only looking for some workarounds, and perhaps a way for Fedora 
and others to more easily include the docs by some means.
