Geert, do you have more documentation on this kind of linkage. I'm

No problem, I will send you more examples offlist, if you like.

Do you not have a problem with 'some people' profiting from the work 
of a whole community? Are there any examples of free software 
communities perhaps forming cooperatives of producers so that more can 
benefit?

Yes, I do have a problem with people privitazing other people's work. I 
have seen this happening so often in my environment that I almost got 
used to it (which is a bad thing).

This can easily be prevented by Ronja-style approach. You don't release
under you get paid the development cost, and then you don't care a shit
what people are going to do with the GFDL result.

Your last question I cannot really answer, but I would say, go and look 
in the Debian area, for instance.

Best, Geert
