See:
https://blog.mariadb.org/mysql-man-pages-silently-relicensed-away-from-gpl/

It seems that Oracle silently changed the licensing in the
documentation; at least the manpages, in 5.5.30->5.5.31). The manpages
shipped by the source package now contain copyright wording that is
clearly not DFSG compliant, since modifications are prohibited and there
is no explicit exception to permit distribution of patches.

So debian/copyright is also now wrong, since it lists man/* (implictly
through *) as GPL-2.
