I'm not familiar with the details of Django's project, but most likely
their publisher allowed them to keep their own copyright, so that they
could distribute their book however they wished.

You *can* copy the web2py manual, *but* you will need to re-write the
text into your own words. I seem to remember that Massimo wrote that
the code examples can be freely copied verbatim (confirmation?), so
it's possible that he kept the copyright for those as part of his
agreement with the publisher.
