----- Please ask upstream to always use (case insensitive): with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. ----- does not exactly match the FSF template <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto-opt.en.html>: ----- with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts and no Back-Cover Texts. ---- The FSF template does not use a comma in front of "and". I have no idea which of the two variants uses correct punctuation, but the FSF variant should be the official one, shouldn't it? Trivial patch against git HEAD attached. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin. His other friends are so grateful to you.' `I sew his ears on from time to time, sure'
