bug#7175: 23.2; Reference to "Emacs General Public License" in man page

Date: Fri, 8 Oct 2010 12:04:07 +0200

The emacs.1 man page still mentions an "Emacs General Public License".
This looks like a relic from Emacs 18 (or earlier) times.

Patch is included below. This is against 23.2, but should apply to the
current bzr trunk too.
