Hi there,
I'm not really using FlightGear and so am not too keen to spend a lot of
time following this up, but as per request below I'm forwarding this to the
devel mailing list in the hopes that that it's helpful to someone.
Best,
Thomas

Summary: Documentation improvements
Initial Comment:
I downloaded the getstart.pdf and found the following things could be
improved in Chapter 1:
"At present, there is no known flight simulator – commercial or free –
supporting such a broad range of platforms."
--> Should be "no other known flight simulator"
"However, you must freely provide the
entire source code to anyone who wants it, and it must retain the original
copyrights."
--> This is easy to misunderstand: to anyone you give a binary to you would
also have to offer the sourcecode, but not to anyone. So I'd rephrase it to
"However, when distributing the software you must make it available to the
recipients in source code as well and it must retain the original copyright
notices."
"To do so would require more manpower that we have now"
--> Should be "than" instead of "that": "To do so would require more
manpower than we have now"

Thanks for pointing these out.
But you should probably better subscribe to the FlightGear devel mailing
list or alternatively use the forum to get in touch with the manual
maintainers, you could also use the wiki for this.
