OK, I understand. I've added and pushed a license note for the *.tex file itself

I might be misunderstanding. I thought this report was about the license of the source for that document. Not the compiled document.

But I'm not sure if it is important to make that distinction.

I can't remember when I added the license note, but the latest version of the *.tex file have a footnote in the title which states that the document if under the GFDL, so I think the report can be closed

I can't tell which commit added a license header to that .tex file. Afaict, the latest version in the repository still doesn't have a license header:
https://bitbucket.org/jgpallero/octclip/src/02af79b/doc/octclip.tex

Please, let us know if you think we should still close this report.

I am planning to package octclip for Debian.  In Debian, we need to specify the licensing conditions of every upstream file.  Now, there is no copyright notice and no licensing conditions in file doc/octclip.tex.

From the DESCRIPTION file, I am assuming for now  that doc/octclip.tex is released under the terms of either GPL-v3 or BSD-3, but the package author may have meant another license, like GFDL or Creative Commons, which would be more appropriate for software documentation.

Please, specify the licensing conditions of doc/octclip.tex in the next release of the octclip package.
