&gt; As I have stated before, I am not in any way against having the more

&gt; commercial &quot;paper&quot; re-print. I really think this is important for items
&gt; such as &quot;Guides&quot;.
You are right, author should be able to make money from their documents.
But not at the expense of making non free documents.
Maybe we should try to find a way for our authors to get a compensation
for the time and energy they spend writing free docs?
I would support a &quot;public service&quot; scheme, where linux distributions,
publisher, would give money to the LDP authors as an acknowledgement of
their effort, but without any obligation.
