OK. I do find that a bit strange, though. It's the license of the
document; we include the full text of the FDL as an appendix, but not
the details of how it applies to the manual you're reading. If I
wanted the licensing terms for an Info manual, Info's where I'd expect
to find them.
I'm fine with my expectations being wrong.

Another Debian developer expressed some confusion over the current
situation, in a bug report.
