That sounds reasonable to me. Moving the links back to the document is not
that hard and the most of the links are only used once or maybe twice for
some of them. It's OK by me to make theese adjustments but It's important
that we work the same way with all three manuals. :)

I looked at the page regarding translations of the GPL and It do seems best
to leave the license text as it is in English... :)
