I have changed it. It now reads "This article is available under the 
terms of the GNU Free Documentation License". The Linux India Wiki does 
not specify the copyright of the articles published on it. Hence I put 
it in. You are correct, I should not have used the earlier notice.

This suggestion is really good. I should have thought about it. However, 
I will not be able to put in the changes today as I am suffering from a 
terrible backache (from bad sitting posture I guess :-( ).

Thanks for the suggestions
