OK.  Based on what Noel wrote, I'll announce it on c.l.s. tomorrow
(Tuesday).

Re the copyright & license, for now I'll make the clarifications I mentioned
in our recent discussion.  My guess is that given that the Cookbook has
already been announced on #scheme, plt-scheme, and LtU, we're not going to
suddenly get a flood of new content, and the legal issues won't change
overnight.  Any change in the terms is presumably going to require author's
consent anyway.  I, like Noel, will "trust in human reasonableness to
overcome problems later", also bearing in mind that it's much easier to
relax the terms later, than make them stronger.
