Using @ifinfo is not the right way to put in copyright and licensing 
information, you need to use @copying.  See the NEWS file for Texinfo 4.2 
and later:

	*** IMPORTANT NEWS FOR ALL AUTHORS OF TEXINFO MANUALS ***

	As of version 4.2, Texinfo has a new command @copying to define the
	copyright and copying permissions for a manual.  If you haven't already,
	please switch to using it in your next release, because the historical
	method of doing copyright permissions using @ifinfo failed to output
	copyright information in the HTML (or XML) formats.
