If the Internals Manual is a separate document that is usually used
and/or printed separately from the main GDB manual, and it is at
least, say, 20 pages, , it should have a separate FDL permission
notice and copy of the FDL. This can simply be an @include fdl.texi
since the FDL is in the GDB distribution already. If this is usually
just a chapter in the main manual, it doesn't need a separate copy of
the FDL.
As to the GPL - that is a political and authorial decision - is it
useful practically and/or politically to give people a copy of the GPL
in the manual? I think RMS has said in the past that he thinks the
major GNU manuals should include a copy. Ask him if you want, but it
is probably a good idea. Not required by license, but a good idea.
