Didn't Intermetrics assign the copyright to the U.S. Government?
I don't think this is a GPL-type situation where part is covered by the
GPL and part is not, rendering the whole thing undistributable if the
non-GPL part is incompatable with the GPL. The distribution terms on the
LRM's license don't have any "infectious" clauses like the GPL and LGPL.
I've heard the argument that the copyright on the html-tagging of the
document may be bogus. But as an individual, I don't think I'd want to
risk potentially commiting a violation in hopes that I'd win any court
action that might be instituted against me. The best thing would
probably be to redo it from scratch, as we are doing with the FAQ.
