Pedantry is usually a good thing when it comes to writing
documentation—as long as it doesn't obfuscate things.

Using the serial comma (sometimes called the Oxford comma or Harvard
comma) is a matter of style.  According to the ubuntu-docs style guide
(see rule 1 under the "Comma" heading at
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide/SpellingPunctuationGrammar#Punctuation>),
the serial comma should be used throughout our documentation.  If you
find places where the serial comma is omitted, please bring it to our
attention.  (I've noticed that the serial comma is omitted in headings
where the ampersand [&] is used in place of the word "and". I assume
this is an exception to the rule.)

That's true. The footer text is added to the bottom of every page. It
may be difficult to add an exception to the legal page, so I doubt
this will be fixed in the near future. Thanks for reporting it,
though!

Thanks for your suggestions so far. Please keep them coming!
