[FM Discuss] Licensing Chapter for Booki Manual

[Anne Gentle]

Hi John -
I reworked a blog entry I had written about the general subject, and filled
in the introductory section. I also pasted in the rest of the proposed
outline.

All, feel free to revise as you see fit. I'll revisit it and try to fill in
more - though my understanding of it is limited and the "I am not a laywer"
disclaimer applys. :)

Anne
