doc/fdl.texi is removed below
If I'm understanding correctly, removing fdl.texi seems wrong to
me. I'm supposing it's created dynamically from a copy in gnulib
or somewhere now? But the license can't be updated merely by
changing that file. The @copying block has to be updated also. In
fact, the @copying block now says 1.2, but (I'm guessing) fdl.texi
v1.3 is what gets pulled in.
I think the right outcome is:
1) change 1.2 to 1.3 in @copying in inetutils.texi.
2) keep a copy of fdl[-1.3].texi in the repo.
3) in the event that the fdl is updated, both things need to be
updated. I don't know of any plausible way to automate it, and
updates are so infrequent, it doesn't seem worth the effort.
You raise good points and thank you for catching them, I am not sure
what we should do. coreutils for example doesn't include fdl.texi,
and coreutils is generally our guideline when it comes to these
things.
Jim and co, what do you think?
