Just a suggestion. Why not remove all the stuff at the top about not 
reproducing it (except in full), not for commercial use, plus other 
restrictions. Instead, stick it on a wiki of some sort where others can 
edit it?

My guess is that perhaps someone from Wolfram Research might make some 
changes.

http://www.mathematica-users.org

has not been a wonderful successful it must said, and there might be 
better places, but this documentation issue is the sort of item that 
could be put in an FAQ
