http://packages.trisquel.info/taranis/make-doc
says: "... the documentation is covered under a non-free license ..."

is that true and the package should not be available? or is the package description just wrong?

Debian considers GFDL docs non-free, which might explain the description.

They consider FDL free if there are no invariant sections nor cover
texts and explain why they don't consider manuals with invariant
sections free. Several GNU packages have removed cover texts for this
reason.

thanks for the appropriate keywords!

i now see the older discussions and what debian and FSF are saying about GFDL.

so for now my conclusion is that trisquel follows FSF in terms of defining "free". The package description somehow is coming unmodified from debian, thus it calls the package "non-free" referring to the debian definition of "free"

Correct. Trisquel is based on Ubuntu is based on Debian.
