A poor choice of words on my part, sorry. It's just that the defult
license, which is applied to HOWTOs that don't specify a license, is no
longer recommended by LDP.

I had hoped that the list could answer my questions before contacting
the authors. Such as, the authors wouldn't be able to determine if setting
up a new heading in the directory would be appropriate, nor if a
motherboards heading would be added. Most decisions of that nature seem
to go to the staff list, if any of the staff members are interested in
discussing it (I am not a staff member).

Agreed, if just looking at it from a search engine point of view. However,
product producers are usually sensitive to the letter casing within their
product names. It's your choice, of course.
