Of course you are free to rewrite the documentation. I fear, most
people on this list have better things to do (in particular since it's
only the license which is questioned, whereas the quality seems to be
really good).

What's the problem with these Copyright notices? ConTeXt can be
distributed under the GPL or LPPL, as you prefer; don't mix up license
