More (C) tweeks for printed manual

More (C) tweeks for printed manual

[Andrew Cagney]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 310 bytes --]

Eli,

Brian Y has found some more (C) related tweeks related to the manual. 
The FSF are getting ready for another print run so are going over things 
with a fine tooth comb.

Brian, it is probably best to send the (C) fixes to this list since that 
way the people that work on the code get to see it.

Andrew

Sorry, I don't understand: why is the GFDL text added to the manual?
Richard Stallman never asked for that, IIRC.  Not every manual comes with 
a copy of GFDL, and neither is there AFAIK a requirement that they do.

All of the other changes are because of this inclusion; there's
nothing wrong with the copyright notices or the years mentioned there
right now.

Brian, could you please explain the reason for the change?

Re: More (C) tweeks for printed manual

[Brian Youmans]

Maybe RMS just forgot to ask about including the FDL?  It does need to
be included.  Just like when you give someone a copy of the source code
you need to include a copy of the GPL, when you give someone a copy of
the manual you need to include a copy of the FDL.

(That is why we are not asking people to use the FDL for very short pieces
of documentation - it would be silly to add a 6 or 8 page license to a
very short piece of doc.)

The copy of gdbmi.texinfo I looked at was the one in the 5.1.0.1 distribution.
Maybe someone corrected the problem I saw with the "Invariant Sections" already?

It has been fixed.  ``Society is to blame'' :-^
