If the docs are worth nothing, then why this ongoing argument about the 
particulars of its licensing? There is nothing about the license which 
forbids someone publishing it. We want them to ask, we want the actual 
writers of it to be acknowledged. If someone is going to make money from 
it, I think we have the right to ask for a contribution to the project.

If some company printed out parts or all of the manual for their own 
use, there is nothing to prevent them from doing that.

The reason the various licenses exist is that there is a long history of 
adults not playing nicely when it comes to business.
