Hello,

great to hear about 2.2.12 release. I went through its license texts and I'm
puzzled by doc/indent.texi conditions:

    Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of
    this manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice
    are preserved on all copies.

    @ignore
    Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified versions of this
    manual under the conditions for verbatim copying, provided also that the
    section entitled ``GNU General Public License'' is included exactly as
    in the original, and provided that the entire resulting derived work is
    distributed under the terms of a permission notice identical to this
    one.

    Permission is granted to copy and distribute translations of this manual
    into another language, under the above conditions for modified versions,
    except that the section entitled ``GNU General Public License'' may be
    included in a translation approved by the author instead of in the
    original English.
    @end ignore

And later different conditions:

    Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of
    this manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice
    are preserved on all copies.

    Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified versions of this
    manual under the conditions for verbatim copying, provided that the entire
    resulting derived work is distributed under the terms of a permission
    notice identical to this one.

    Permission is granted to copy and distribute translations of this manual
    into another language, under the above conditions for modified versions,
    except that this permission notice may be stated in a translation approved
    by the Foundation.

Am I permitted to modify doc/indent.tex or not?

I probably cannot understand "distribute modified versions [...] under the
conditions for verbatim copying". Verbatim copying means unmodified, doesn't?
