Hi all;

I have a question. I maintain various FAQs for rec.arts.bodyart.
I have the notice written on the FAQ regarding distribution (it
already addresses selling FAQ for profit, etc.), but I do not
have anything written specifically for people who mirror
rtfm.mit.edu.

I didn't ever have a problem with it until I found something new
today. There's a fellow who's decided to do his own html
document at his site with a bunch of stuff, including all the
FAQs from r.a.b. The problem is that these are versions I posted
back in May--and I have had revisions since then.

Does anyone have statements written on their FAQs regarding the
responsibility of people posting the most recent version? Can
you control that? My FAQs are growing all the time--I have
static sections, but some are revised on an almost monthly
basis.

What do you suggest? As the maintainer of the files, I would
like to make sure people make an effort to at least make sure
the newest files are available. Any thoughts?
