Thank you for all your comments on this subject. If i do go ahead with my project here's what i will do: publish it for free and ask for donations, explaining in each issue exactly the dilemma i had with DRM and Freedom, to give people the notion to why it is so important for them to donate whatever they can. Many won't donate, but some might donate much more than i would charge for the magazine, this way compensating for those who didn't. And with some luck i'll be able to get some more revenue from payed advertizing.

I'll advertize for free in each issue some entities/projects that i want to support and can't do so financially, like Trisquel (when the time comes i'll be asking Ruben if i'm allowed to do so).

My magazine will have some original content but many will be from third parties, like selected news that i'll translate to my language. That way i'll be also contributing to them, if they'd like a copy, by helping to translate their content onto other languages.

I can imagine how it would be like if they started to have the kind of doubts i was having and decided to charge me a fee for each article i wanted to publish in my magazine! Sharing IS good!

P.S: I still hate LibreOffice for giving the options to restrict PDF documents content extraction and printing and then not applying them.
