Dear developers,

I downloaded GNAT User's Guide at
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn_unw.pdf (GCC 4.6.0) and found the
following copyright notice:

  Copyright (C) 1995-2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

According to section "Copyright Notices" of the manual "Information for
Maintainers of GNU Software" [1]:

  You can use a range (‘2008-2010’) instead of listing individual years
  (‘2008, 2009, 2010’) if and only if:
  1) every year in the range, inclusive, really is a “copyrightable”
     year that would be listed individually; and
  2) you make an explicit statement in a ‘README’ file about this usage. 

[1] http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html

Does this manual respects "1)"?
If it does, there should be a "README" file somewhere according to
"2)", there is no "README" in http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/gcc/ada/.

Please fix this.

Christophe
