It would be clear, if this were the GNU Free Manpage License.  The FSF
makes a claim I know I've heard here before: that there is no
one-to-one mapping from files to works.  They'd presumably
consider all the manpages in the csound package to be a single work,
and have each refer to a central gfdl(8) page.
