I'm looking at the texi output from gpl.texi and lgpl.texi, especially
PDF, and they are not very nice.
Reasons:
* GPL and LGPL titles are all in upper case.
* gpl.texi uses @unnumbered instead of @appendixsec, which both
fdl.texi and lgpl.texi does. The consequence is that GPL look
different in the table of contents.
* Neither gpl.texi and lgpl.texi use @appendixsubsec for the "How to
apply these terms to X..." section, which fdl.texi does. This makes
the title end up in the table of contents for GFDL, the title
happens to line wrap, and with only one sub-section, the table of
contents look typographically bad to me.
How about the patch below? It will allow you to have a texi snippet
like:
@node Copying Information
@appendix Copying Information
@menu
* GNU Free Documentation License:: License for copying this manual
* Library Copying:: License for copying the library
* Copying:: License for copying the programs
@end menu
@include fdl.texi
@include lgpl.texi
@include gpl.texi
The only remaining issue may be the node name in fdl.texi, which isn't
consistent with gpl.texi or lgpl.texi node names. But I'm not sure it
is a good idea to change node names, they affect file names in some
output formats (HTML).
