First of all I don't find anything in Heath David's statements that supports
the paraphrases about plagimarism.
Secondly: It's interesting to see how some people seems to be obsessed 
with the thought of hurting eachother, and taking every chance to throw
a punch.
The fact that we must not forget is that the FAQ was made for the 
benefit of mankind, and even if Uli is the one who distributes it,
he himself has stated that he is *not* the author of the FAQ, but that
it is a compilation of info. from a lot of people, that he has made.
Uli himself has not claimed the exclusive rights to it, but stated that
it should be Public Domain.

For the benefit of mankind.

There's no reason to be unkind.

PS Christopher Oliver, do you still not agree that intellect should rule, 
and that emotions are destructive? ;^)
