I'm glad to see that the license grant appears on the printed format; however, that doesn't resolve the problem that it's impossible for someone reading the plain-text version, or reading the HTML without looking at the source, to tell what the license grant is (specifically, the inclusion of Invariant Sections).Jesse W wrote:There is a specific texinfo @ command, @insertcopying, which is designed to make the @copying information visible.

It only affects the printed titlepage.
It is quite feasible to include either the full license grant, or a note referring to where it is, by using @ifhtml and @ifplain directives. It may *also* be good to modify the Sample Texts to include this, but, the Emacs Manual can be fixed in any case.
