Re: Want to review a book about GNOME 3?

Hello all,

So far as I can understand:

1. A development guide tells you how-to use many different FOSS products with explanation on how they will work together to help the reader create more free software.

2. Manuals are and must be free.

So, the bone of contention is "a manual" Vs "a collation of manuals with input that bridges them relevance between them" (using the term "development guide"). 

My two cents is that going by the rule of free works and their derivatives must also be free, the author should consider releasing the book (TXT or PDF format) under a copyleft license and to be fair to the effort the author has put in, he should charge a fee for the kindle/e-book hardcopy/printed/paper edition.

Thank you.
