I do not kow how Wikipedia exact works when someone put protected content
in a article but someone shall/must/will react on it.

The publisher wil not make it GPL if they can have financial profit 
of it when they sell the book.

Asking the publisher to make it GPL will be need as it is posible they
do not know about GPL, it is in general not in there interest anyway
for the complete work/book.

Because the current book as-is is so outdated they maybe well willing 
to do but take in account that if so many people want it free as wiki 
they have also still posible customers for selling. It's a bit contra.

Any way it is in best interest for allBasic to prevent illlegal as much
as possible and getting permision before is always better as telling
'I did not know' afterwards just in this grey situation.

If he do not want ask the permission then he should not use the book
as basic start source with copy/paste but type his interpretation in 
his own words and the gambas community can add/correct this content.

PS
GPL is not the right licence (software)
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_content for other more correct ones.
