I just downloaded make 3.80 from ftp.gnu.org, and you appear to
be wrong about that.  Here is an excerpt from make.texi:

Front-cover and back-cover texts are invariant.

This does not match what I saw in /usr/share/info/make.info.gz from the Debian
package, version 3.80+3.81.rc1-1:

The GPL text is not included in this version of the make manual.
