What applies to the Emacs Manual also affects the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.

When I try to access the some of the Emacs 23 documentation, I found some of it to be missing due to it being "non-free" by Debian. For example, the Emacs Manual is missing. I had to manually download the manual in info format and extract it to /usr/share/info/emacs-23. Also accessing "About GNU" results in the following message:

The file that would normally be displayed here (THE-GNU-PROJECT) has been moved
to the emacs23-common-non-dfsg package because its
license does not appear to be compatible with the Debian Free Software
Guidelines (DFSG). Please see
/usr/share/doc/emacs23-common/copyright for more
information.

Please install THE-GNU-PROJECT from Debian's non-free distribution if you would
like for Emacs to display the original file.

I feel this will cause a problem for those wanting to access the Emacs documentation.
