<p>For software manuals and other documentation, it is important to use a
license permitting free redistribution and updating, so that when a free
program is changed, the documentation can be updated as well.
</p>
<p>On the other hand, for small supporting files, short manuals (under 300
lines long) and rough documentation (README files, INSTALL files, etc.),
the full FDL would be overkill. They can use a simple all-permissive
license.
</p>
<p>Here is sample text for such an all-permissive license. This is just
the license text itself. For a complete sample document, see the
previous sections.
