To my mind this is essentially unrealistic, given the GFDL or whatever
later licence we migrate to; though of course "and so forth." covers a
lot of ground. In fact it covers enough ground to plausibly constitute
an [[Overwhelming exception]]. "Essentially unlimited" but in practise
in the real world limited in an endless variety of ways and manners.
The licence should be explicitly included in the list, you're right. I
think generally it's an ok description, though.
