Dunno whether this is actually a bug, but it seems odd.
In this node you find this text:
Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
Free Documentation License''.
Should the `` and '' perhaps be rendered differently - perhaps as curly
double quotes?

Agreed, they should probably be marked as the other instances of ``text
quoted like this''.
But the markup seems correct. Is this a bug in makeinfo perhaps?

It is not a bug. That's what @example does.

So should we replace this with “ and ” or should we close this as
wontfix?

This is a legal blurb we have in all our manuals, so the format there
should be identical and coordinated with the FSF.
But wait a minute: I don't think I understand the bug report anymore,
because of 2 reasons:
. the Texinfo source uses @quotation, not @example, so I'm unsure
why I mentioned @example in my response, likely a mistake on my
part;
. more importantly, the text in the Info file uses “..” quoting
So I now tend to think that Drew was looking at an old version of Info
manuals, which were produced by makeinfo before we started using UTF-8
encoding as the default output encoding of our manuals, and that is
the reason for the original issue.
If I'm right, the bug should be closed as being fixed long ago.

I just checked, with emacs -Q, in 27.1.
Go to node GNU Free Documentation License.
Scroll to the bottom of the node, or search
for Addendum.
The indented block of text after "just after
the title page" has this as its last sentence:
A copy of the license is included in the section
entitled ``GNU Free Documentation License''.
As that block is a quotation, perhaps this is
intended and needed, which is why I said in the
bug report that I don't know whether there's a
bug here.

That's the GNU FDL, we cannot change even a comma there.

OK. This is hardly worth this much time and energy in any case.
I've added the tags wontfix and notabug, so anyone can pick their
favourite. I'm consequently closing this bug.

OK. I thought that might be the case.
Thanks for confirming and closing.
