It's appended below. The short version is that it lets us use future text from the wiki in the manual directly, although for large sections the FSF still recommends we get a copyright assignment. Code will still need assignment. Of course, because I added this to an existing Wiki, the "all content" statement is not strictly true - you can't retroactively apply a notice that way. I'm not sure what to do about that. The only significant content that applies to are the plotting and STL macro packages, which are code rather than data anyway, so I don't see a big problem. If the owners of those packages object to the license notice / assignment please let me know. ==== All content (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation.
