If the FAQ author/compiler has the sense to include a copyright
notice, there's no reason that resources (read "attorneys' fees")
would be an issue, even for a poor, sole maintainer. The reason for
including the notice is that it entitles a copyright owner to recover
a) guaranteed statutory damages (instead of actual damages, which
might be nil), and b) *attorneys' fees*.
That is not sufficient. You must also register the copyright. Costs
$20 and you need to fill out a form. I have Form TX in PostScript.
It's been posted to comp.sources.postscript and so is in their archives.
