Can you please share where the licensing issue is? I don't think
that's the GFDL - because this manual has no invariant sections - is
it?
The problem are the "Front-Cover Texts" and "Back-Cover Texts".

Thank you for the quick answer. This part is just about those two texts?
I think it would be useful to have a bit elaboration on it in the file
gmp/debian/README.Debian.
Maybe my understanding is not correct - then please share some light on
this - but the parts you refer as problems only mean that Debian would
have to either ship the distributed generated documentation (html and/or
pdf) as-is or generate the docs without patching away the sub-title "A
GNU Manual" and the sentence “You have freedom to copy and modify this
GNU Manual, like GNU software” at then end of the documentation, no?
Would there even be a reason to patch those?
I'm asking both "out of interest" and because of the documentation for
the gnucobol package (currently dropped [missing only in debian], but is
already in testing again).
Thanks again,
Simon
