That guess is unfortunately not entirely correct,
my schedule is more or less fully booked until end
of August with very little time in between, hence
my rather delayed replies.
I would indeed have liked to change it myself but as
the copyright is free anyone can change it without
asking me. Has it already been changed? If so, to what?

I believe the generator itself is sufficiently robust
for inclusion. As the text explains it has already been
used to make a sample HOWTO which was successfully run
through the entire tool chain.
However the copyright selections have
to be modified and we have to find a Creative Commons
license that we can accept. I thought there was only
one but as it turns out there is a web page that makes
one for you from a form you fill in with many variations
possible.
I might as well ask the question here then: what variety
of the Creative Commons can we accept for HOWTOs?
A DocBook generator is also in the works by others, I
will let them present it when they feel it is ready. Also
they would like to know the licensing issues.
