Done! Thanks.

Oh, I do agree. Also, one relatively good bit of news is that the
existing documents with non-free licensing will tend, over time,
to become ones we want to replace, anyway. As you wrote, "Authors
frequently give up after some years, and we have to allow new authors to
take over." Which means that, in general, docs that don't permit
successor maintainers will tend to be among the ones that age badly.
