We did this to death in July 2008. Essentially, our hands are slightly tied by 
our desire to use the Independent Submissions process for our document series. 
Essentially, that requires that we use a defined copyright boiler plate, 
although it permits us to add additional clauses. Russ raised the issue that 
AFS standards documents should be freely redistributable which clause E), which 
came from Jeffrey H, aims to resolve. If you're interested in more of the 
background, I'd advise reading the list archives from that month.

Cheers,

Simon.
