As Xiyue Deng posted here in https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2025/12/msg00462.html some GNU documents are licensed with GNU Free Documentation License which includes several restrictions, most notably the concept of "invariant sections" that may never be distributed in a modified form. The Debian project took a vote back in 2006 and decided these restrictions upon distribution made GFDL not "free" as defined by Debian.
