Just as well that Eli asked me to consult with the FSF.  They prefer
something (marginally) less permissive.  Here is the conclusion I
reached with Dave Turner (who answers licensing@gnu.org).  I also added
a notice to agentexpr.texi which redirects to the main manual, i.e. the
GFDL.

Eli, does this look good to you?
