[bug-gtypist] Fwd: Bug#695777: gtypist: includes non-free documentation (GFDL with unmodifiable sections)

[Ben Armstrong]

gtypist includes cover texts in the doc, with no permission granted to
remove them, which Debian's DFSG forbids. Could that be changed, please?
I'd rather not have to strip the doc from the package.

Thanks,
Ben
