  I'm wondering about the copyright implications of including content
from that wiki in a published standard (just like annex A of
http://www.cablemodem.com/downloads/specs/CM-SP-CBI2.0-I01-070611.pdf
has).  The wiki says, "Original content on this site is available under
the GNU General Public License." and as best I can find, that wiki is
the original place that file format info was put together.  Having read
the GNU General Public License, I still don't know how to properly apply
it / what would be allowed here; but I believe I can get explicit
permission to include the content in an otherwise non-GPL work, so I'll
just ask for that.  We're putting together a CALEA standard that will be
publicly available; may we include content from that wiki?  Or can
anyone explain how the GPL would be applied to this situation?

Thanks,
Jesse
