And still people don't grasp the free (libre) software philosophy...

It is not meant to be gratis dude. I said that the text+images itself 
will be available for the docboard (FREE), and we'll sell the same 
stuff, designed, as a PDF. That's nicely matching the FSF philosophy. 
Even when it doesn't have their GFDL license.
