I have a couple of questions about these changes, and about the
dependencies in that directory in general:
. all the manuals now include doclicense.texi, but there are no
dependencies on that file -- is that a bug?
. why some of the manuals @include gpl.texi, while others include its
contents instead?

I expect so, yes.

In the old days gpl.texi contained sectioning commands
and @node, so it wouldn't fit into manuals that wanted to do their
own sectioning, and people would copy the text of gpl.texi
without its sectioning commands. Nowadays that problem has been fixed,
so @include gpl.texi should suffice.
Hmm, but I just now checked, and I didn't see any Emacs manuals that
contain copies of gpl.texi's contents, so perhaps I'm misunderstanding
your question.

Sorry, I was confused. Ignore the second issue, only the first is
real.

A minor one, yes. It's not like doclicense.texi changes very often.
