That's true only for people that make their living from writing and 
selling books. When a program/project is available for free, why 
shouldn't the documentation come for free as well? There is no real need 
that the book writers should earn money, while the coders should not.

In practice I agree that it can be hard work, to write a book about 
mostly undocumented code like FPC and Lazarus, and even I've been 
thinking about providing *and* selling according documentation myself. 
But I would have done that by myself, in digital form, without an 
professional publisher who wouldn't work for free...
