I'd say that this is not release critical as it does not affect the
release.

Has this been resolved with our private mails? For everybody to see:
mvo:
I don't think we need to change anything about the file COPYING. It
is not the license statement of Guile, it is only used as a
'subroutine' in the actual license statements. These actual license
statements are contained in each individual file.
Here is how the subroutine is invoked:
* You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
* along with this software; see the file COPYING. If not, write to
* the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330,
* Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
*
* As a special exception, the Free Software Foundation gives permission
* for additional uses of the text contained in its release of GUILE.
So technically, we don't need to change COPYING to be watertight. We
might consider it anyway to better publicize our license terms. There
are prominent sections in the README and the manual that explain the
license terms of Guile. Maybe that is not enough?
I'm hesitant to change COPYING as it is a 'standard' file with
identical contents in a lot of packages.
