texinfo.tex (version 2002-11-25.11) seems to have some problems with
@copying containing comments or @ignore. (I came across these in
attempting the convert the GCC manuals to use @copying.)
The following testcase uses @ignore, and gives the error:
Runaway argument?
^^Mbar^^M@end ignore^^M@endgroup @end titlepage @par @@par @ifnottex @ETC.
! File ended while scanning use of @doignoretext.
<inserted text>
@par
<*> ...gcc/unsent-patches/texi3copy/test/test.texi
?
======================================================================
\input texinfo
@setfilename test.info
@settitle Test Manual
@copying
Copying foo.
@ignore
bar
@end ignore
@end copying
@titlepage
@title Test Title
@page
@vskip 0pt plus 1filll
@insertcopying
@end titlepage
@contents
@ifnottex
@node Top
@end ifnottex
@bye
======================================================================
The following testcase uses a comment, and the copyright page is left
blank in the DVI output rather than including the copying text.
======================================================================
\input texinfo
@setfilename test2.info
@settitle Test Manual
@copying
@c foo
Copying foo.
@end copying
@titlepage
@title Test Title

@vskip 0pt plus 1filll
@insertcopying
@end titlepage

@node Top
@end ifnottex

These constructs are used in the GCC manuals as part of automatic
manpage generation, for example:
