Yes. O'Reilly released them under the GPL:

We had a discussion a while back about dual-licensing the manual since
it needs to be released under the GFDL for Emacs and under the GPL for
Debian (per the DFSG). If that's still the case, it would be helpful if
someone could point out an example of this so that I could see the
mechanism (i.e., text) of how this is actually done.

Would adding a mention of MH-E 8.0 source and manual be appropriate for
the FOR-RELEASE file?
