Pages whose purpose is educational should carry free licenses.

That's in the section on licenses for documentation.  I will clarify
the text there to make it clear the non-recommendation is about
documentation only.  Thanks for showing me this could be

be under a free license.  We should use the GFDL for compatibility
with the Emacs manuals.
