Ok, so for this "distribution section", I agree, it should not be invariant as it is almost "technical" (how do I get more information...), and the point of view of RMS about that would be interesting.
This section explains what free software means, mention the existence of the FSF's distribution service, and asks for donations. It says nothing about how to use Emacs. However, the acknowledgements ought to be in a separate Acknowledgements section. I will move them.
