As I understood the license, it's still distributed under the GPL, so that
wouldn't be a problem. (There already is a .tar.gz-distrib that we could
use as a starting point.)

OK, I will have a look, but the problem with LG is: the tar.gz-distrib
includes all issues distributed so far (we could split this) with a
complete TOC over all issues. I will think of a solution. Perhaps we
should create "dummy issue pages" for those issues, not installed. This
would make it easy to have an overview over all issues without installing
them.

The web server doesn't have to run all the time. I could be started on
demand via inetd. (It doesn't have to be a big server as Apache, we could
use the ncsa packaged, released a few days ago--if there is no web
server installed already.)
