[Gambas-user] The Gambas Book

[John Rittinghouse]

Folks,

Just to clarify things about the book I have been working on. It is not
a "for profit" book.  I have agreed to put the material in the public
domain after the book is published, had cleared this with the publisher
long before this issue came up.  It has NEVER been my intent to write
this book for money. In fact, I am fronting most of the cost of
publication for this book myself.  I simply wanted to create a better
set of documentation for the Gambas community as a whole since I feel it
is something I can do fairly well.  

Some have already started flaming me and that is fine.  I don't want to
upset anyone...if there is anyone out there that feels I have slighted
them or may be trying to take advantage, simply send me an email and I
will try to respect your wishes about using material you may feel is
owned by yourself regarding the book. 

As an aside, and for general interest, material, any material,
copyrighted or not, that is placed in the public domain can be used for
any purpose as long as it is properly cited and referenced and credit is
given where appropriate (WIPO rules, not mine).  I have never intended
to do anything other than the best job i can to try and further the
Gambas project. I apologize in advance if I have offended anyone.
