commit 4332b7f74280f3c41f14ddccfbc2d62110c1e86b
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>

LICENSES: Make corrections.
* Soften overly general statement. Some contributors to groff (even
ignoring the contrib/ directory, which doesn't comprise "groff
proper") have not assigned copyrights to the FSF. I know of two: Ingo
Schwarze and myself.
* Apply ordinary lettercasing to "free software". Trump's tweets have
exacerbated my allergy to Dramatic, Germanic Capitalization.
