This is indeed a bug, thanks for reporting it.

I've verified that there's no other occurrence of this issue in the
current git checkout.

Here's a patch to fix this issue:

I had to rewrap that paragraph. For reference here's the according
wdiff:

However, note that certain shell functions are licensed under versions
of the GNU {+General+} Public Licence.  Anyone distributing the shell as a
binary including those files needs to take account of this.  Search

None of the core functions are affected by this, so those files may
simply be omitted.

		Kind regards, Axel
