   While running the GNU Manifesto through "jive" and "valspeak" may be
   humorous, posting the modified file to the net is not.  The copyright
   notice at the end of the document specifically forbids making modified
   versions of the Manifesto.

I believe copyright law and common practice both guarantee the right to
satirize; I doubt Stallman's notice voids this.
