While in general I must say that I agree with Branden on this issue, I'm not yet completely convinced, and one reason was brought home to me by the above: I large majority of our software ships with the file COPYING, which states "changing it is not allowed". Combined with the requirement in section 1 that the GPL be given to any recipients of the program, this strikes me as similar to the invariant section. It leaves me wondering if we are being a bit hyopcritical about it. At the same time, I see no value in making cover sections, etc. of manuals invariant. Any thoughts on that?
