Just for the sake of clarity: I was trying to *fix* the copyright
notice with regard to what I understand from this link:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Documentation.html
In particular, this sentence is ambiguous:
"If your manual is not published by the FSF, and under 400 pages, you
can omit both cover texts."
I read it as
"If the FSF does not sell paperback copies of your manual, and if your
manual is under 400 pages, you can omit both cover texts."
Which was precisely the case for the Org manual.
IIUC this should be
"If the FSF is not the author of your manual, and if your manual is
under 400 pages, you can omit both cover texts."
Can someone fix this?
