Can you tell me a reliable source for that copyright information? Online, I have only found old (pre-GNU) versions such as 1.52 with a weird copyright notice, but no license -- and later versions distributed by the FSF under the GPL2. > I found this bug while working on the reproducible builds project [1] to > make texi2html produce reproducible output.

I'd like to amend debian/copyright, but also change the Makefile so that the Debian-provided texi2html is used instead. (I did verifiy that it still builds).
