the last of my worries since their rules might change anyway (things
like 'include source' which then might include sources of sources of
sources where in practice a pdf would be fine too

the usual licencing mess ... personally i think that we should not be
too strict (i.e. no enless pages with unreadable licence texts when a
url can do) and no restrictions on using snippets other than a simple
reference to the original (unless one is part of the authoring team
since it makes no sense to refer to your own stuff)
