I think it's a great document, and shows a lot of work you've put into
it. I'm sure if there's anything non-repetitive in the Jargon Buster, we
could merge them. Please keep in mind, though, that the GNU FDL doesn't
allow you to place additional restrictions over and above the license
itself on your work. But the license also requires that your name stay
attached as the primary author, so you don't need to have any fear that
you'll lose credit for the amazing amount of effort you've put into it!

Thanks for your generosity; I'm sure everyone appreciates it! We'll look
forward to adapting it for the FDP. Make sure you get that Bugzilla
entry in, as Karsten said, at the earliest opportunity.
