Also, the GNU Coding Standards say that
Please credit the principal human writers of the manual as the
authors, on the title page of the manual. If a company sponsored the
work, thank the company in a suitable place in the manual, but do not
cite the company as an author.
gnat_rm.texi presently does not follow this; I missed this point when
listing problems with that manual, though I pointed out many places where
it inappropriately referred to what was available from Ada Core
Technologies (rather than what was available to the public as free
software, with references to ACT left to lists of sponsors, contributors
and the GNU Service Directory).
