I hope that we can avoid hashing this out in this forum again, but since
the question is asked: there is an explicit acknowledgment of Brian
Kernighan's help in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT file and another acknowledgment
in the README file for the code from the book in the test suite. The
texinfo file has not yet been revised, but the official FSF policy has
not changed, so far as I know. The important thing, as far as I am
concerned, is that Brian Kernighan knows how Arnold and I feel.
