Say WHAT ???

I will instantly withdraw my FAQ from news.answers/RTFM if anyone starts
to tell me what sort of restrictions I may or may not put on it.

I'm quite sure that 99% of the FAQ authors would agree with that position
--- everyone so far in this thread has very clear ideas on how they want
to see their FAQs propagated and used or not used. Only problem is, the
ideas range all over the map...

This says nothing for or against your particular proposal of copyright
wording. It may be a very good one and many FAQ authors may
*individually* choose to use it. But I promise you that enforcing a
single policy will be acceptable to nobody.
