For CDROM's my main concern is assuring that the FAQs are presented
unmodified and that I can show in court that I actively protect
my (registered) copyright. I'm not so concerned about payment.
I also like to keep track of where my FAQ lists have been reprinted
(for resume purposes) and the easiest way to do that is to have a
copy of everything in which they've appeared.
