The current document copyright is temporary.
When the Coyotos spec freezes, we will release it under a more liberal
license -- probably GFDL, but no guarantees about that.
The one thing we will require (which is why there is a question about
GFDL) is that any modification of the document must not be described as
Coyotos.
The reason for this is that Coyotos is a reference specification. By
their nature, reference specifications are frozen reference documents.
To readers, it is important to know that they are examining the
definitive reference document.
So: if others want to modify the Coyotos design and derive from it, that
is perfectly fine. They just should not create confusion about what it
means to be Coyotos.
I do understand the frustration with the current copyright. I decided
that it was better to discourage mutation until the first version of the
document was frozen.
