Let's not do that upstream. The file already contains a public-domain 
notice at the bottom, in a human-readable format that is visible to 
anybody who looks at the printable version of the man page. Let's not 
put in comments for every downstream user with its own idiosyncratic 
machine-readable way of repeating what's already there.
