For instance, suppose I have 

(defvar version-license
You can redistribute exact copies of Typex or modify it under
the terms of the Gnu Affero General Public License as published
by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License,
or (at your option) any later version.)

which will print the paragraph as it is, when using 

(with-current-buffer typex
(insert version-license))

With last word on each line being printed as last word on each line in buffer 
name `typex'.

It does not write the text as a paragraph according to maximum column as with 
`fill-paragraph'.
