I did g77.texi - I hope that covers it for GNU Fortran.  The other
f/*.texi files all have sentences in them like

@c For copying conditions, see the file g77.texi.

If this is not sufficient, I need some guidance on how to update _these_
files.

Here's the patch I applied to g77.texi on the branch (after a bootstrap
and install on ix86 Debian 2.2) - I hope someone well versed in
licensing wording could verify that this is indeed what is intended

I will apply the same patch to the trunk, shortly (i.e. after make
bootstrap / make install).
