[Someone should translate "approuved" to "approved" here] This is a variant of the copyright/permission notice the FSF uses, which is considered free. E.g. /usr/info/bison.info.gz: : Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of this :manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice are :preserved on all copies. : : Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified versions of :this manual under the conditions for verbatim copying, provided also that :the sections entitled "GNU General Public License" and "Conditions for :Using Bison" are included exactly as in the original, and provided that the :entire resulting derived work is distributed under the terms of a :permission notice identical to this one. : : Permission is granted to copy and distribute translations of this :manual into another language, under the above conditions for modified :versions, except that the sections entitled "GNU General Public License", :"Conditions for Using Bison" and this permission notice may be included in :translations approved by the Free Software Foundation instead of in the :original English.
