I don't know whether my posting my FAQ means that you can publish
it on CD-ROM because it's just another sort of newsfeed; or if by allowing
you to publish it without asking you are setting a precedent; or if
what you are doing is actually illegal.

I do know that ignoring the explicit copyright notices on many
FAQs is rude.

I think that it is a failure of etiquette to allow the question of
legal action to even be raised. While the net tolerates (and sometimes
even admires) personall rudeness, mass rudeness is met with great outcry.

I don't know what you should do, but I'm glad I'm not in your shoes.
