efaq: Informational files for Emacs

 
 3.8 What informational files are available for Emacs?
 =====================================================
 
 This isn’t a frequently asked question, but it should be!  A variety of
 informational files about Emacs and relevant aspects of the GNU project
 are available for you to read.
 
    The following files (and others) are available in the ‘etc’ directory
 of the Emacs distribution (see File-name conventions, if you’re
 not sure where that is).  Many of these files are available via the
 Emacs ‘Help’ menu, or by typing ‘C-h ?’ (‘M-x help-for-help’).
 
 ‘COPYING’
      GNU General Public License

      Emacs Availability Information
 
 ‘MACHINES’
      Status of Emacs on Various Machines and Systems
 
 ‘NEWS’
