IIRC, the content is licensed under the OPL without restrictions.  Red
Hat made sure that our control over the copyright was enough to do this,
or we made separate arrangements with the other copyright holders (Sun,
AOL).

The problem is not the license but the notable absence of source XML.

I think it is much more than that, it is quite active, and all the
development of the enterprise product happens on the tip of CVS in
cvs.fedoraproject.org.  The problem seems to be more of knitting
together the existing FDS community with the Fedora community.  Not
quite as hard as the idea of knitting jboss.org and Fedora, but still
something that needs to be done deliberately.

Being close physically to the FDS team and having at one time been the
lead content writer for that team, I'd be happy to work on this
knitting.  Umm, sometime.  Soon, maybe even, if we have an imperative.
