making the @copying visible in the HTML manual

I noticed that the libcdio manual, like many of the other GNU manuals,
doesn't display its license grant (@copying in texinfo) in the rendered
HTML.  For clarity, it would be better to make it visible.  I've just
been working with the Emacs project (
http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1988 ) on
this issue, and the manintainer, Karl, suggested I work though the list
of other GNU projects as well.  Below is a patch to fix this.  Let me
know
if I can be of any other help, or if I should send this elsewhere, or
in another format.

I've applied the patch you suggest in git. Although the patch applied
somewhat cleanly and I think I see the effect, please double-check that I've
done this correctly.

Thanks.
