My general feeling is that if somebody wants to include any of my FAQs in a
for-profit medium, they should ask for permission. I generally grant permission,
but I want to be asked. Moreover, as a general principle, if somebody is going
to make money off my hard work, they should contribute to the effort to produce
such work, by donating money to similar efforts (e.g., supporting university
research, contributing to the FSF, etc.).
I should note that my cheap airfare FAQ includes the following copyright notice:
