Just offhand, I remember some pretty nice stuff about garbage collection
from the late Seventies (but was it an international journal or an
internal memo? I don't have it here now), and also something about logic
programming, if I recall correctly with Sussman.

I don't think there's anything political in this.

Yes. I don't see why only international journals should count; even in a
literature survey, if it's relevant then just cite it.

I tend to do something like this:

@misc{GPL,
  title = {{GNU General Public License}},
  author = "{Free Software Foundation}",
  howpublished = {\\ URL: \urlsmall{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html}},
  url = {http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html}
  year = {2007},
}

Best regards,
