Whew, that was a lot of files...

Oh, /those/ manuals... ;-)  OK, here they are.

calc.texi had the copyright date line repeated on the title page, so I 
removed the redundant one.

dbus.texi already included @insertcopying, as far back as its initial 
revision about a year ago.

erc.texi is the same.

faq.texi isn't under the GFDL, rather it's under a vague copyleft 
statement, with copyright dates going back to 1990.

gnus-faq.texi claims to be generated from an XML file, which I can't 
find (the given URL breaks, the gnus.org site does not appear to have 
the purported XML file visible anywhere..), so I'm leaving that one 
aside for now.

gnus-news.texi is also not under GFDL, and has it's copyright statement 
in a comment, so we'll leave that one alone, too.

gnus.texi already has @insertcopying.

mh-e.texi is dual-licensed under the GFDL 1.3+ and the GPL 3+, and 
already has @insertcopying.

org.texi already has @insertcopying.

remember.texi does too.

smtpmail.texi also.

tramp.texi has @insertcopying at the bottom of the Top node.

trampver.texi isn't exactly a manual, and has it's license statement in 
a comment; ignoring.

Quite a few of them repeated a descriptive line in @copying and in the 
top of the Top node; I removed the repeats where I saw them.

And that's it...  all the others are included in the big-pile-o-patch 
attached below.
