Side issue #3: claims that we should tell people to use the GPL for

have to either give the friend the SGML source code, or else give him
a
written offer, good for three years, to give him the source code
later.
FDL-covered works distribute a source-like version or an offer,
reasonably prudent for a year (lawyerbomb!), of a source-like download
later IIRC. This is only obligatory if you distribute 100, but would
anyone want to hinder a friend?
If you don't want to share source, maybe you want to use an
MIT/X11-style licence?
