Hello,
I have discovered some typographical errors in some licenses in Texinfo
format. There are some '.'s that end sentences but follow capital
letters. These must be changed to '@.'. See also here¹.
Note: Paul Eggert suggests here² that I should write to gnu@gnu.org for
this issue, so that is what I have done.
See the below patch (created against the Gnulib tree):
