<p>The copyright notice and copying permissions for a document need to
appear in several places in the various Texinfo output formats.
Therefore, Texinfo provides a command (<code>@copying</code>) to declare
this text once, and another command (<code>@insertcopying</code>) to
insert the text at appropriate points.
</p>
<span id="Software-Copying-Permissions"></span><p>This section is about the license of the Texinfo document. If the
document is a software manual, the software is typically under a
different license—for GNU and many other free software packages,
software is usually released under the GNU GPL, and manuals are
released under the GNU FDL. It is helpful to state the license of
the software of the manual, but giving the complete text of the
software license is not necessarily required.
