>Description:
When I use "man strings" I have a significant amount of whitespace underneath 
the "COPYING" line.  It tells me that the GNU licence is in the man page, but not displayed because to make the manual page more "consise".  At first I figured a slight mistake, but its there.  I was also going to remove it, but i'm not a
lawyer and have no clue what type of "legal issues" may arrise.  Opinions?
>How-To-Repeat:
	man strings
>Fix:

Should I just make up a patch, or is this something with legal issues that, even though the page looks horrid, should it just be left untouched?
