Zettel translation copyright?

I was reading the page on Liechtenauer's Zettel And I thought putting together a single-serving html and css website that showed the zettel alongside a translation would be a fun little project, and help me get a handle on the rhyming couplets. But as far as I can tell, the version on the Leichtenauer page is the only english translation that has anything resembling an open license (GFDL on this site, except where otherwise noted).

My questions:

• Who provided the source translation for which parts of the translation, I see that Keith Farrell is a user here, if he added his translation himself, did he knowingly grant use under the GFDL 1.2?
• Have David Lindholm or Jeffrey Hull given permission for their translation to appear under the GFDL, general permission for his translation to appear online, or does the translation appear here Fair Use?
• Do you see any problems with me using the translation listed here on my site provided I satisfy the GFDL citation requirements> (and of course copious thanks and link backs)
