You go, Steve! Yes, I'd be willing to kick in a ten-bill as well. As a
librarian, copyright issues sit very close to my heart.
If Ace Cycles is, as Steve says, just small potatoes and not hardened
copyright pirates, then I suspect they put up your FAQ because:
1. They were lazy and they found useful information
2. Didn't ask you for permission because they got it "free off the
Internet."
3. They didn't want their audience to leave their web site to go
to Ohio-State's site.
What I would suggest in your actions, if they appear shocked that a real
live human being is threatening legal action, is to offer a "compromise"
of sorts. Tell them they can either put a link up to an rtfm archive site
(I prefer Kent Landfield's), or tell them you will write them a tailored
version for their web site for a nice fee. Of course if you do the latter,
make sure you continue to retain a copyright to your own FAQ lest they
then turn around and charge you with violating their copyright! [Famous

fighting the trademark lawsuit the company fired his way.]
