That would certainly explain that. I ran into a couple of other oddities in trying to prepare a DEP5 debian/copyright <http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5> file for gcc-X.Y-doc-non-dfsg (which you can see at <https://github.com/SamB/debian-gcc-doc/blob/debian/4.6/debian/copyright>). For some reason, I reported on bugzilla instead of asking about them. Anyone have any light to shed on those? Bug 52204 <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52204>: libiberty/at-file.texi has no copyright or license statement whatsoever Here is the entirety of the file: ---->8---- @c This file is designed to be included in manuals that use @c expandargv. @item @@@var{file} Read command-line options from @var{file}. The options read are inserted in place of the original @@@var{file} option. If @var{file} does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated literally, and not removed. Options in @var{file} are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash. The @var{file} may itself contain additional @@@var{file} options; any such options will be processed recursively. ---->8---- And all relevant ChangeLog entries: 2005-10-07 Mark Mitchell <m...@codesourcery.com> * at-file.texi: Fix typo. 2005-10-03 Mark Mitchell <m...@codesourcery.com> * at-file.texi: New file. Bug 52207 <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52207> License on gcc/doc/include/gcc-common.texi screws up the licenses of many other documents. gcc/doc/include/gcc-common.texi says: @c Copyright (C) 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, @c 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. @c This is part of the GCC manual. @c For copying conditions, see the file gcc.texi. gcc/doc/gcc.texi says: Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with the Invariant Sections being ``Funding Free Software'', the Front-Cover Texts being (a) (see below), and with the Back-Cover Texts being (b) (see below). A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU Free Documentation License''. (a) The FSF's Front-Cover Text is: A GNU Manual (b) The FSF's Back-Cover Text is: You have freedom to copy and modify this GNU Manual, like GNU software. Copies published by the Free Software Foundation raise funds for GNU development. But there are a lot of other documents that include this file, most of which do not include the "Funding Free Software" section (and have "@copying" blocks different from the above): find . -type f -print0 | "xargs" -0 -e grep -nH -e '@include.*gcc-common' ./gcc/ada/gnat-style.texi:30:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/ada/gnat_rm.texi:37:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/ada/gnat_ugn.texi:124:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/doc/cpp.texi:9:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/doc/gcc.texi:25:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/doc/cppinternals.texi:5:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/doc/gccint.texi:11:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/doc/install.texi:10:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/fortran/gfc-internals.texi:6:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/fortran/gfortran.texi:6:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/java/gcj.texi:12:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/go/gccgo.texi:12:@include gcc-common.texi find . -type f -print0 | "xargs" -0 -e grep -nH -e '@include.*funding' ./gcc/doc/gcc.texi:173:@include funding.texi ./gcc/doc/gccint.texi:164:@include funding.texi ./gcc/fortran/gfortran.texi:3033:@include funding.texi and which it is therefore probably illegal for anyone but the FSF to distribute in built form.
