1. The legal department could quiet easily do it.
2. Normally I would find it strange that a legal document could be
copyrighted, But you know 'merica where the Law is actually
copyrighted (*sigh*) [or at least argued that it is] and the issues
surrounding that, Although I do believe the foundation did give a
pledge awhile back to make as much as possible under licenses (and
iirc transparentancy as well)
