+@section License Texinfo sources
+
+Gnulib provides copies of the GNU GPL, GNU LGPL, and GNU FDL licenses
+in Texinfo form.  (The master location is
+@url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/}).  These Texinfo documents have
+various node names and structures built into them; for your manual,
+you might like to change these.  It's ok to do this, and a convenient
+way to do so is to use a context diff and the @option{--local-dir}
+option to @command{gnulib-tool}.
+
+Of course the license texts themselves should not be changed at all.
