Well, now it's a document over 50 pages long (for most architectures,
anyway). So it should have its own license section.

I think we only need to:

a) add the GPL license, as it should have had when it moved from b-f's CVS to
the DDP

b) ask those that might not be aware that the document is GPL (as it lacked a
copyright notice in the DDP CVS, but it had one in the main tarball when it
was part of the boot-floppies).

c) notify translators that they should be based on that license (some
translations should already have the license as they were part of the
original b-f CVS too)

True. I don't expect anybody to disagree, however, but you never know.

Thanks.
