My understanding is that the GPLv3 explicitly only encompasses "source code" and "software". The documentation is in no way required to build, run, or modify the software (from its source code or from a binary .whl
), so it seems like it would be excluded by its very nature.
But to be more explicit: the license covers everything but docs/
.

Just to be clear: I was in no way implying that those PDFs not being GPL licensed is a problem for the software being licensed under the GPL. I filed the issue because it seems obvious that they're not meant to be GPL licensed, which kinda leaves their licensing unclear. When the licensing of some files is unclear, it also leaves the licensing terms of every file in the repository in doubt (since one falls back to relying on what one considers implied, "obvious" or guesswork).
In addition, you might want to consider whether the copyright holder for those PDFs allows you to include them in your repository and redistribute them at all (I genuinely have no idea). One suggestion to stay on the safe side would simply be to link to TI's own distribution channel for these documents.

Thanks for the clarity. It would be even more helpful if e.g. the README file could clearly state something along the lines of "every file in this repository, except for those in docs/
is licensed under blabla".
