contrib/pdfmark/pdfmark.ms: Drop FDL Invariants.
* contrib/pdfmark/pdfmark.ms: Make FDL license notices parallel
in language to other copies in the tree, and remove invalid
attempts to claim Invariant Sections. Invariant Sections have
to be Secondary Sections of the document. "If a section does
not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed
to be designated as Invariant." (FDL 1.3, §1)
Fortunately, this attempt at Invariant Section usage is an
effort to prevent effacement of the copyright and license
notices. Apart from such material already being protected under
international copyright law, the FDL guards this information,
which is not a "Secondary Section", from removal.
"You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that
you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this
License." (FDL 1.3, §2)
"You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
under the conditions of section[] 2 [...] above" (FDL 1.3, §4)
This application of FDL Invariant Sections is invalid, but also
redundant and unnecessary.
