Ok, if you find a good image with free rights (we should be able to sell a
printed version for costs if we want to), upload it to the wiki, and
suggest it as replacement. You might be able to change man tip page
yourself even.

Ok, For me this is good. Feel free to move it at the end of the page, it
will improve clarity. You can only edit 4.0 manual pages at this time, so
only there this is to do.
Alternative is that we change the footer of the Gramps wiki somehow to
indicate:

Free Documentation License 1.2 <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html>.
Manual also under GPL: manual
copyright<http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps:Manualcopyright>

But still, that would be small to see.
I see wikipedia uses the footer:

additional terms may apply. By using this site, you agree to the Terms of
Use <http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Terms_of_Use> and Privacy
Policy.<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy>

Perhaps we should write it like that also, but then for our licenses. That
would be ok too, and gives us a Terms of Use and Privacy Policy also, which
is not bad.
