But that isn't how I see this case. The book costs $14. Nobody is getting
rich. It's a LOT of work to make a book and there are huge costs to
consider. And books are certainly beneficial. Should we forbid books about
anything opensource? Of course not.
The only real problem that I see here, and that is easily corrected, is that
the author isn't giving anything BACK to all of us who worked so hard - for
free - to give him the contents of his book.
Loosen up the purse strings a bit and say "Thanks" by giving 10% or more back
to oOffice.
At $14/copy, the author is probably getting less than a dollar. So it's
the publisher who's gaining. You think they'd respond positively to a
request for a donation?
