the header of that file has
This manual describes how to install and use Numdiff,
a program which compares
putatively similar files line by line and field by field,
ignoring small numeric differences or/and different numeric formats.

so imho cmtk is fine (not to mention that numdiff sources are included just to
preserve original tarball, system-wide numdiff installation is used)
so "with no Invariant Sections" and "with no Back-Cover". I guess this report
was triggered by a quote of original GFDL license included in those files which
does list invariant clauses... ?
