Hi Achim,
I'm going to nitpick about the wording. I don't know what the politics are so I
don't know whether it's a big deal or not.
1.4 What do I have to pay for GNU Backgammon?
GNU Backgammon is Open Source Software and belongs to the GNU Project. You may

I don't think you should be using the term "open source" in the FAQ. My reading
of the licences is that the GNU GPL is a different thing. I think it should
read:

Don't make changes on my say-so, though. The developers should state their
opinion.
