Well, certainly. That's pretty much implicit in what I was saying about
needing to track down and get permission for further publication from
the various authors, if possible, right? That's what I meant, anyway.

The HowToForge site's viability doesn't seem any more of an issue than
that of any other site with no mirrors and nobody else having the right
to operate one. Mr. Till Brehm appears to know what he's doing.
I doubt that he'd particularly want to adopt GFDL given his
advertising-based model -- though I could be surprised.
And trying to apply Title 26 of the United States Code, chapter 501,
section (c)(3) to a corporation in Lueneburg, Lower Saxony, Germany
probably would give the Körperschaftsteuergesetz (corporate tax)
guys in Berlin a chuckle or two, neh?
