Bug ID: 21383
Summary: HTML format of license in manual has sections
misnumbered but refers to sections by number
Product: glibc
Version: 2.25
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: manual
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: ambrus at math dot bme.hu
CC: mtk.manpages at gmail dot com, roland at gnu dot org
Target Milestone: ---
The GNU libc manual contains a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License
version 2.1 in "manual/lgpl-2.1.texi". When this is HTML-formatted, such as
displayed in
"http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Copying.html#Copying", the
sections are numbered wrong: what is originally section 6 of the Terms and
Conditions is displayed as section 7, and what is originally subsection 6a is
displayed as 7.1. This is a big problem, because the text of the license
refers to those sections by their original number, so the meaning of the
license is unclear.
