Re: copyright notices on Info docs

    The Info version of the main manual doesn't show the actual copying
    conditions as recommended in the Texinfo manual, and I think it
    should.

Could you explain more specifically what you mean?
The file emacs/info/emacs starts like this

    This is ../info/emacs, produced by makeinfo version 4.3 from emacs.texi.

    This is the Fourteenth edition of the `GNU Emacs Manual', updated for
    Emacs version 21.3.50.

So either my observatiosn disagree with yours or I have
misunderstood your intended meaning.
