for an updated version of the proposed pages, please see 
http://www.zapt.info/ianal/

I combined most of the text into one main licensing page, with a list of 
contents and anchors. I left the suggested guidelines text in two 
separate files because they have a reasonable amount of content: 

http://www.zapt.info/ianal/contrib-guidelines-code.html
http://www.zapt.info/ianal/distrib-guidelines-code.html
 
This also makes it easy to follow the ReST approach you suggested.
