ACK.

> Who's the rights to FAQ?

Due to lack of an exhaustive list of contributors, everybody and nobody at 
the same time.  And as we have discussed before, that is a/the problem here. 
Contrary to common misconception, the subscribers or contributors of a 
newsgroup are _not_ a legal entity simply because neither is well-defined.

A reasonable way to resolve this without a license is to assume that the 
parts contributed by a person continue to belong to them even after 
publication.  He who maintains such a FAQ, then, is merely the keeper of the 
intellectual property thus made publicly available; he keeps it, updates it, 
and improves it so that his peers can continue to benefit from it.

There are better ways to resolve this that I am going to investigate, and 
will implement for the FAQ for comp.lang.javascript if and when I am sure 
that they cannot and will not be abused in order to steal intellectual 
property, or, in general, to use it only for one's own benefit.
