So a response to mattdm's posting:

No, but that doesn't matter.

I object.

Red Hat has been on record for some years objecting to the Gilligan's
Island Copyright. This was supposed to be fixed years ago for the wiki
and never was. This was also supposed to be fixed for documentation
but I don't believe it ever was. 

Under CC BY-SA 3.0 section 4, Red Hat requests removal of its name
from these Gilligan's Island copyright notices. You can use "Copyright
© 2014 others." if you wish.

Opensource.com has been used as a legal model here (whether that is a
good idea or not I'm not sure) and it does not use any copyright
notice, Gilligan's Island or otherwise.

My suggestion: If you feel you need a copyright notice at all, even
though you don't, please use "Copyright <YEAR> Fedora Magazine Authors".

For the love of $DEITY do not use "All Rights Reserved", this was
deprecated by Red Hat seven years ago or more.

I don't care too much about, er, the rest.
