Hello,
in 4.3.9 the documentation licenses/copyrights are strange:
--------------------------------
doc/find-maint.texi
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this
document under
the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
[...]. A copy of
the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU Free
Documentation
License''.
doc/find.texi
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 process this file through TeX and
print the results,
provided the printed document carries copying permission
notice identical to
this one except for the removal of this paragraph (this
paragraph not being
relevant to the printed manual).
end
ignore
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.
doc/getdate.texi
c
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this
document c
under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License,
Version 1.2 or c any
later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
with no c Invariant
Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover
c
Texts. A copy
of the license is included in the ``GNU Free c
Documentation License'' file
as part of this distribution.
doc/perm.texi
No copyright/license!
doc/regexprops.texi
No copyright/license!
--------------------------------
Therefore there are three issues:
#1 Missing copyright/license headers in doc/perm.texi and
doc/regexprops.texi
#2 doc/find.texi doc/getdate.texi doc/perm.texi
doc/regexprops.texi are
combined into findutils.info. However I think the different
licenses are not
compatible.
#3 The copyright information in doc/find-maint.texi and
doc/getdate.texi says
that "A copy of the license is included in the section
entitled ``GNU Free
Documentation License''". However the copy is not
actually shipped.
