I don’t know how to keep the @ifinfo trick (see the attachment) without
separating them. Maybe the @ifinfo part should be removed.

In the document, nearly the same (more on that later) copyright notice

notice, which is error-prone.
Now, I said “nearly” because the “Copyright” lines are different, but
they should be identical.
