maybe but the GPL v2 or GPL v3 hasn't

and documents are unlikely candidates for GPL licensing anyway. Licenses
like Creative Commons are much more conducive to documents but in either
case, it's a huge leap to assume that these PDF's that the OP is
referring to have anything to do with free licenses.
