Wasn't the 1.4.4 manual released under GFDL-1.1? Did Debian
ship the 1.4.4 manual?
I'm sorry I didn't notice earlier; I think the problem is this:
$ diff -u -D '1 week ago' doc/m4.texinfo
[[snip]]
-or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
-with the no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts,
-and with no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in
[[snip]]
+Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, with the Front-Cover texts
+being ``A @acronym{GNU} Manual,'' and with the Back-Cover Texts as in
+(a) below. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Free Documentation License.''
If Santiago agrees with me, I think we should undo that part of
the change, and release 1.4.6 relatively soon.
Cheers,
Gary.
