Explain how they're hurting you. If they do not reprint your work,
you gain nothing. If they reprint your work, you gain nothing. What
changes?
I understand and partly sympathize with the principle of intellectual
property here, but I fail to see the reason for such frenetic
argument. In particular, I can't understand your reason for
maintaining a FAQ in the first place if you're so worried about it
being distributed other places. Is the point of this work not to
disseminate information?

That's reasonable, but it doesn't necessarily warrant such
tight-reined control over FAQ distribution. You could, for example,
copyright a FAQ and permit distribution if your name is attached, or
if the FAQ is reprinted in its entirety, or whatever.
