This is correct.  The problem was, pdfinfo said "pdftex", while
Sanchit mentioned an error message about unrecognized bounding box -
something which happens when you use tex in dvi mode.  So I assumed
his toolchain somehow mangled the metadata.  Only later Sanchit told
he first run latex, and then pdflatex.

	Codification of Human and Organizational Law, contrasted
	to IBM, GM, and AT&T.)
