I've no problems with giving the copyright to FSF. Please get in 
touch with me for discussing legal details.

Actually, it outputs texinfo source, which however is optimized for 
later conversion to Info. This because my primary motivation was to 
enable fast and comfortable documentation lookup in Emacs. I expect 
that converting it to other formats yields poor results at the time,
because the texinfo source contains a lot of formatting targetted at 
monospaced displays.

Perhaps I will extend TexiDoclet some day with means to output
general-purpose texinfo source (suitable for conversion to DVI, PDF, 
etc.) - but for now, think of it as a system for creating Info pages 
from Java source documentation. 

Please refer to the project homepage for further details.

In the meantime, I was able to solve most of the issues myself. I'll come 
back to you, Nic Ferrier and Anthony Green with the remaining questions.
Thanks to all of you for offering your help.
