The manual already has a GFDL copyright notice, which was probably placed there when the file became part of Emacs. The only invariant section mentioned is the GPL section, and that should be updated. > So basically the thing to do is to make a more or less detailed list > of what changes you think appropriate, and ask Richard whether they > are ok with him.
