<span id="insertcopying"></span><span id="index-insertcopying"></span>
<span id="index-Copying-text_002c-including"></span>
<span id="index-Permissions-text_002c-including"></span>
<span id="index-Including-permissions-text"></span>
<p>The <code>@insertcopying</code> command is simply written on a line by
itself, like this:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@insertcopying
</pre></div>
<p>This inserts the text previously defined by <code>@copying</code>. To meet
legal requirements, it must be used on the copyright page in the printed
manual (see <a href="Copyright.html">Copyright</a>).
</p>
<p>The <code>@copying</code> command itself causes the permissions text to
appear in an Info file <em>before</em> the first node. The text is also
copied into the beginning of each split Info output file, as is legally
necessary. This location implies a human reading the manual using Info
does <em>not</em> see this text (except when using the advanced Info
command <kbd>g *</kbd>), but this does not matter for legal purposes,
because the text is present.
</p>
<p>Similarly, the <code>@copying</code> text is automatically included at the
beginning of each HTML output file, as an HTML comment. Again, this
text is not visible (unless the reader views the HTML source).
</p>
<p>The permissions text defined by <code>@copying</code> also appears
automatically at the beginning of the XML and Docbook output files.
