It's included in Debian and thus it's free enough. That alone wouldn't
matter but LyX is not really the right product to do documentation in.

I would recommend using DocBook/SGML or DocBook/XML which can be
transformed into literally any other format on earth and has the
nice attribute of being able to keep away the style from the text.

I'd even volunteer to setup the whole system and do the conversion of
the HTML docs into DocBook for a start.
