I'm sorry if I came off as patronizing, it's not the way it was meant
to sound. It's just that I've seen a lot of open source software that
has this problem, and I don't like it because I think it hinders the
spread of open source software.

I'd be happy to contribute some documentation on this. I just hope I
have a firm enough grip on the issue. Where should I send drafts for
review? Is there some other resource I should be aware of besides
http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html?
