I have to admit I've been pondering about this quite a bit, and here is
why (sorry for not raising this earlier): if you believe the Wiki will
allow the gfortran team to keep the web pages up-to-date more easily, for
example by means of help from additional volunteers, we should seriously
consider that as an option.
However, not requiring any form of copyright assignment/disclaimer/
whatever means that we will not be able to take any of that and
integrate it into our regular documentation or main web pages. And
this does concern me.
As far as I know, some started a discussion with the FSF on how to best
handle this, but I've not heard of any results yet, unfortunately.
Gerald
