Good point <https:/ /bugs.edge. launchpad. net/bzr/ +bug/433734>.
I think we should address it by appending a short GPL notice to the
end of every documentation file, like
Copyright 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Canonical Ltd. Bazaar is free
software, and you may use, modify and redistribute both Bazaar and
this document under the terms of the GNU
General Public License version 2 or later.
I think the three-paragraph header would be excessive for what are
often only a couple of pages of text.
