etags.1 has a simple "preserve permissions" notice.
emacs.1 has the same notice as etags.1, but contains the GPL
boilerplate as a comment at the start, which is confusing, even if it
may be technically correct to note that Emacs as a whole is GPL'd.
emacs.1 is certainly bad.
We could stick with what etags.1 does; it is ok.
Or we could change them to the GFDL, or say "you can also use
this under the GFDL."
