The problem here is that someone else can publish LDP docs, not pay
|
|
authors anything, and then undersell whoever does pay them. As
|
|
electronic media (distribution via the Internet and CDs) becomes
|
|
predominant, this publishing scheme loses it's significance. It also
|
|
saves paper and trees.
|
|
|
|
Thus I think we need other methods of funding. Governments and
|
|
charitable organizations could be one source. Another is to ask for
|
|
donations from users of Linux, especially ones who have gotten it
|
|
free by downloading or using someone else's CD.
