I do. I spent a lot of time researching and writing my FAQ. I had a
lot of help too. However, the work is my intellectual property and I
want to retain control over who uses it and how it's used. (That does
not necessarily mean I'm looking for money!) The copyright simply puts
potential users of my material on notice that I do retain rights to the
material and they will have to contact me concerning use of the
material.

Hope this helps!
