But did you send it to RMS?  RMS finds it easier to deal with licensing of 
specific bodies of text than with general permissions, but that requires a 
concrete patch being placed before him showing quite what FSF-owned text 
you want to license how - and as with all patches, this is best done 
without intermediaries, direct from the person preparing the patch to RMS.
