Old description:
LaTeX files in milena/doc/ have the special clause:
{{{
As a special exception, you may use this file as part of a free
software library without restriction. Specifically, if other files
instantiate templates or use macros or inline functions from this
file, or you compile this file and link it with other files to
produce an executable, this file does not by itself cause the
resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public
License. This exception does not however invalidate any other
reasons why the executable file might be covered by the GNU General
Public License.
}}}
which is meaningless! Remove it.
Moreover, we might want to consider another license for the
documentation, like the GNU FDL or the LPPL (I'm not sure the GPL is
suited for documentation).
EDIT: The products (e.g. `tutorial.pdf`) have FDL headers! WTF?

Comment:
We should handle this for the next release. Copyright information is
important. As always, we should write (or better: reuse) scripts to
perform and assess this task.
