RTFM is probably the best idea, since it's FAQ lists were talking about.
And if there's going to be only a small sum, it should be the only 'good
use' IMHO.

The original note talked about copyright on their additions, corrections
and reformatting. I don't want them to add or correct anything actually,
since I feel it might be causing confusing if different versions appear
(there are already some old versions around, no need to add more versions)
and the copyright issue is another one.
Meanwhile, there was a discussion about copyright notices some time
ago on the maintainers-list. Can someone mail me the consensus (if any)
reached about these notices (or some examples that basically allows people
to make the file available on public servers without modification and
a notice where the latest version can be found, but for other uses to
contact the author)? Thanks.
BTW I'm talking about the ftp-list/faq and ftp-list/sitelist/* files
here. I don't know if they will be included, but I'd like to make
some changes to the copyright notice anyway.
