First the obvious: names, addresses, and phone numbers would need to change.

Beyond that, reuse of documents such as these are something I believe
that we should (and, in fact have) encourage/encouraged.

Now, how best to accomplish that.  For starters, do we require
attribution?  In this specific case while it would be welcome, I don't
think it should be required.  What do others think?
