Everyone seems to be correct as to why this FAQ is "officially
unofficial."

IANAL, TINLA.  (I like how those sound when spoken)

*If* the content in fedorafaq.org is freely licensed (FDL or CC without
or appropriate restrictions), and 

*If* someone wants to cherry-pick the best (safest) answers to carry
over into a sanctioned FAQ,

*Then* we would have to attribute within the derived FAQ where it came
from.

I think that might be OK.  We could even work with the fedorafaq.org
maintainer to make it easier to do this.  We just can't link to their
FAQ with problematic content, or include that content within ours.

If there is interest in this, I will talk with Red Hat legal to get
their go-ahead/caveats.
