Except, the main block, the only one which cannot be ignored with optimistic

Please read the part about invariant sections on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights -- in a quite convoluted

neither invariant when it's technically possible to change them, nor
unremovable, nor placed on cover of any kind". Ie, you can't have them.
