[d-i manual] gpl section



Hello all,

1.
I just comitted an unofficial translation of the gpl for 
german to the manual and I noticed, that the paragraphs (§0 - 12)
of the license are not numbered. They are formatted with 
<itemizedlist><listitem><para> and so there are no numbers
(only dots for the listing).
I think it would be better to have some numbering, since in the 
license there are sometimes links/comments to other paragraphs
("which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above ...")


Possible solution:

=======snip=====

</para>

<itemizedlist><listitem><para>

- This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
+ §0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a 
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed 

=======snap====

I have changed that in german as an proposal:
see http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/de.alpha/apfs02.html





2.
In chapter "How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs" it would be
better to have the parts, that should be integrated into source files,
formatted separately (ie as <informalexample>).
Especially when you have the text mentioned in two languages (as I have
in german now).
