My Windows FAQs say they cannot be sold for profit. Given that I don't
consider the CD to be selling the FAQs (at $30 or so, less production
and distribution costs, can *my* FAQ account for more that $0.10 of the
CD price?) as such, and that my primary interest is in helping people
use and program Windows -- I won't be suing anybody over this.

Besides, I think the lawyers are getting far too much litigation business
already. :)
