It's in an HTML comment, but there isn't even a note in the rendered text to tell you to look there. This makes it more likely that people will mis-use the text, by presuming it's under the GFDL without any Invariant Sections, and in other ways. I heard that this had been discussed earlier, but I was unable to find it in the archives of gnu.emacs.bug, so I'm bringing it up again. Jesse Weinstein
