FWIW the Apache collaboration model enables this, so if the NetBeans (P)PMC decides that the book content is just part of the NetBeans project all these mechanisms are available. The unknown in this case is whether a book producer would agree to print that book, as the Apache License allows anybody to do that (with due credit etc. and respecting Apache trademarks) so they wouldn't be protected against competition. And authors wouldn't make money (do they anyway?) but "just" get reputation by having contributed to that effort. Which might be worth more, actually, even from a business point of view ;-) -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
