@node GNU Lesser General Public License
@appendix GNU Lesser General Public License
@include lgpl-3.0.texi
@heading The GNU General Public License
@include gpl-3.0.texi
COPYING.LESSER could be done the same way, for consistency.
Actually, I woke up this morning and realized it was not consistent --
there's no way to do an include in a plain text file, after all.
So the consistent way would be to insert
@majorheading The GNU General Public License
@include gpl-3.0.texi
at the end of lgpl-3.0.texi. And the actual text of gpl-3.0.txt aka
COPYINGv3 aka COPYING to the end of lgpl-3.0.txt aka COPYING.LESSERv3
aka COPYING.LESSER.
(@majorheading is better than the @heading I wrote yesterday, too.)
Brett, if you think this is a reasonable way to go, can you ask rms,
please?
The alternative I see is to have two @nodes, one for the GPL and one for
the LGPL, and two files, COPYING and COPYING.LESSER. Personally I think
there is some benefit/clarity (for readers) in having the lgpl
instantiations be self-contained, though I can't think of any really
definitive reason to prefer one way to the other.
Thanks,
