Oh. My mistake. help2man just includes the output of --version, I
forgot that.

I'm not sure if making that inference is 100% necessary :).
The thing is, that text for --version comes straight from the GNU coding
standards. I wouldn't want to change it without consulting rms (and
changing standards.texi). Sigh. Is it worth it?
By the way, virtually every GNU package seems to do --version a slightly
different way, and I haven't found any that explicitly say GPL v2; many
don't even mention the GPL at all. I expect the situation is even more
chaotic for non-GNU packages. So changing Texinfo is just the tip of
the iceberg ...
Is it ok for you that I patch info in the Debian version (4.8 currently)
to output this additional text?
No, I'm afraid I don't think that's a good idea, as above ...
Thanks,
Karl
