You are right, sorry. The text I was looking for is in maintain.texi,
and it already says what I wanted to be clear.
May I suggest that standards.texi explicitly says that copyright
notices in source files are covered in maintain.texi, and have a
reference to the right place there? From experience, people who
submit patches to sources seldom read maintain.texi, since that manual
is for package maintainers.
