I was looking at the documentation in the man directory, trying to
figure out if a copy of the GFDL needed to be included in the Calc
manual; I guess the answer is no, the manuals typically have a pointer
to the copy of the GFDL in the main Emacs manual.  (Such a pointer
will be added to the Calc manual copyright.)  But now I wonder if the
GPL should be part of the individual manuals? 

A few other things I noticed, which may or may not be worth noting.
Several manuals have old dates on the cover page.  (Calc does, but I'm
going to remove that.)
The ERC manual is under the GFDL, but doesn't give a pointer to
a copy if it in the copyright notice.
A couple of manuals (dired-x, the faq) aren't under the GFDL.
A couple of manuals (flymake, newsticker) don't have an "@insertcopying"
line in the title page, so the copyright doesn't appear when they're 
processed.  (I'd say the same about widget, but that doesn't have a
title page.)
A couple of manuals (pgg, url) have copyright notices which mention
that the GFDL is included as a section, but it isn't.
