It has to be noted that this policy has only been recently observed
for Emacs manuals... before I asked about the GPL licensing of Org's
manual on emacs-devel, there were a few manuals that still didn't
embed the license.

Also, I don't think this policy needs to be applied to orgguide.texi
since it is not distributed with GNU Emacs.  A simple sentence like
"You should have received a version of the GNU FDL license with GNU
Emacs" should be okay IMO.

Best,
