Because the manual is also distributed in printed form. And the GPL is not really well-suited for publications in print: the obligation to provide the full source code at cost means additional obligations for a publisher, impacting the work flow and the price of the end result, even though no sane person would actually have a use for the source of that _particular_ publication instead of the one accompanying his copy of Emacs. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
