This would be particularly neat if there were a simpler URL, such as 
www.avr-libc.org (which could then redirect to the www.nongnu.org site). 
 That would have the advantage of being a shorter and clearer URL, more 
obvious than the existing home URL, and unchanged if you later decided 
to move hosting to another site for some reason.  (Not that it's hard to 
find with google, of course.)

If the developers here reach an agreement on how they would like 
copyright notices to be used, could it be added to the FAQ?  After all, 
license questions *are* frequently asked (or they should be!).
