I ran this command on my laptop, and the returned list includes:

gdb-doc - The GNU Debugger Documentation

?Why the hell is gdb-doc not free?

I was wondering the same thing about the gcc-doc package.

Some searches of the Web will reveal the complete back story.  The short
story is that the GNU Free Document License (GFDL) allows invariant
sections in a document which violates the DFSG.

Okay, probably the same reason for gawk-doc too then.

#  aptitude search '~s"non-free"~i!~M'
i   gawk-doc            - Documentation for GNU awk
