Inserting Permissions
=====================

  In a Texinfo file, the first `@ifinfo' section usually begins with a
line that says what the file documents.  This is what a person reading
the unprocessed Texinfo file or using the advanced Info command `g *'
sees first.  information. (A reader using the regular Info commands usually starts
reading at the first node and skips this first section, which is not in
a node.)

  In the `@ifinfo' section, the summary sentence is followed by a
copyright notice and then by the copying permission notice.  One of the
copying permission paragraphs is enclosed in `@ignore' and `@end
ignore' commands.  This paragraph states that the Texinfo file can be
processed through TeX and printed, provided the printed manual carries
the proper copying permission notice.  This paragraph is not made part
of the Info file since it is not relevant to the Info file; but it is a
mandatory part of the Texinfo file since it permits people to process
the Texinfo file in TeX and print the results.

  In the printed manual, the Free Software Foundation copying permission
notice follows the copyright notice and publishing information and is
located within the region delineated by the `@titlepage' and `@end
titlepage' commands.  The copying permission notice is exactly the same
as the notice in the `@ifinfo' section except that the paragraph
enclosed in `@ignore' and `@end ignore' commands is not part of the
notice.

  To make it simple to insert a permission notice into each section of
the Texinfo file, sample permission notices for each section are
reproduced in full below.

  Note that you may need to specify the correct name of a section
mentioned in the permission notice.  For example, in `The GDB Manual',
the name of the section referring to the General Public License is
called the "GDB General Public License", but in the sample shown below,
that section is referred to generically as the "GNU General Public
License".  If the Texinfo file does not carry a copy of the General
Public License, leave out the reference to it, but be sure to include
the rest of the sentence.
