If I remember well, when discussing about Copyrighting the FAQs, someone
pointed out that the Copyright is due to the work we do collecting and
maintainig the infos. Moreover, someone adds a "contributors" list to
the FAQ, while I myself give proper credit before EACH answer (this
replicates credits, but gives better information, I think).
Hence, as long as the published FAQ is not modified, proper credits are
always given.
> (2) what are other FAQ maintainers doing? Aye / Nay?
I told them yes, if the following is OK:
[Copyright and Warranty deleted, as I already sent them to the list :)]

0.3 Publishing Notes
If you want to publish this FAQ by any means, electronically or
otherwise, you can do it, provided the following conditions are met:
1) The above Copyright notice and Warranty appear in their entirety
in all copies you publish;
2) You notify me by e-mail that you will publish this FAQ;
3) You use the latest version of the FAQ you can get;
4) You let people know where to find updated versions of the FAQ;
5) Any modifications (other than typesetting changes) you make to it
are clearly designated as your modifications;
You shall also send me a copy of the published material, in its
entirety, free of charge. Should this not be possible, due to legal
or other restrictions, please send me the part containing this FAQ,
with full references to the published material (i.e. ISDN or any-
thing else to identify it), free of charge.
Most of this comes from ideas by jik (thanks, Jonathan).
The last paragraph (please send me ...) is to check what they publish.
Should I find something is wrong, i.e. no credits to the people who
contributed, hey, *THEY* sent me that, so I could complain, and get it
corrected.
As sometimes ago this topic was discussed also, I don't ask for any
amount of money.
Bye,
