No. The docs in question are covered by the GPL.
This is part of where I get the censorship jag. The doc _license_ is GPL, so they are clearly complaining about my GPL'd speech describing proprietary software. Fsck them, I will talk about proprietary software as much as I like. And GPL that speech, as much as I like.
Implying (or flat out saying) that _talking_ about something proprietary makes that speech proprietary is silly.
Daniel was trying to dictate what we can and cannot talk about, in the kernel sources. That's offensive.
