Looking at the text, large parts seem to have been copied directly from the info pages, and then the copyright has been assigend to the new authors. (I'm not sure whether that was you or the previous author.) That's a clear violation of the original copyright! I've already started working on a version of this page. I'll post it when I'm done.
