**Why this document is not GPL or a wiki
The document is copyright, it is NOT GPL'ed text. While the GPL is a
fantastic idea, I have chosen not to make this freely copied and
modified. The reasons are as follows:
1. GPL text tends to be copied...EVERYWHERE. For example, if you look
up a subject on wikipedia, then try to get more information, or a
different perspective on say about.com. There you find the EXACT
SAME TEXT. This is what mirrors are for. It's an unintended
consequence, but it can lead to misinformation being spread
everywhere. A bigger problem.
2. There seems to be fewer and fewer informative websites. It used to
be that if you searched for something you would find a website
about a particular subject. Now you tend to find the encyclopedia
and often nothing else (well quickly).
In addition the majority of this text is quotes.
The wiki concept is a good idea, but they have problems. Because no
one "owns" the work they seem to go to two extremes. Either no one
maintains them, or there are edit wars. Also anyone can edit them.
