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 ;-)
