Cross-references refer to nodes, not to their sections.  The printed
format gets that converted to a reference to the corresponding
section.

So you need a @node to make a cross-reference.

[help-texinfo] Section Numbering

[Christopher Dimech]

@chapter GNU Free Documentation License
@unnumberedsec 0 PREAMBLE
@section APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
@section VERBATIM COPYING
@section COPYING IN QUANTITY

I want PREAMBLE to start at zero, however the next section
starts at 4.2 rather than 4.1

How can I fix this problem?

4 GNU Free Documentation License . . . . . . . . . . . . 7
  0 PREAMBLE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7
  4.2 APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS . . . . . . . . .  . 7
  4.3 VERBATIM COPYING . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9
