(a) The FSF's Front-Cover Text is: A GNU Manual (b) The FSF's Back-Cover Text is: You have freedom to copy and modify this GNU Manual, like GNU software. Copies published by the Free Software Foundation raise funds for GNU development. But there are a lot of other documents that include this file, most of which do not include the "Funding Free Software" section (and have "@copying" blocks different from the above): find . -type f -print0 | "xargs" -0 -e grep -nH -e '@include.*gcc-common' ./gcc/ada/gnat-style.texi:30:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/ada/gnat_rm.texi:37:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/ada/gnat_ugn.texi:124:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/doc/cpp.texi:9:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/doc/gcc.texi:25:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/doc/cppinternals.texi:5:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/doc/gccint.texi:11:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/doc/install.texi:10:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/fortran/gfc-internals.texi:6:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/fortran/gfortran.texi:6:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/java/gcj.texi:12:@include gcc-common.texi ./gcc/go/gccgo.texi:12:@include gcc-common.texi find . -type f -print0 | "xargs" -0 -e grep -nH -e '@include.*funding' ./gcc/doc/gcc.texi:173:@include funding.texi ./gcc/doc/gccint.texi:164:@include funding.texi ./gcc/fortran/gfortran.texi:3033:@include funding.texi and which it is therefore probably illegal for anyone but the FSF to distribute in built form.
