I almost can't believe you said that :)
O'Reilly and Associated have been actively printing GPL'd Linux works
such as the Network Administrators Guide, System Administrators Guide
etc.
Could I suggest to you that you will find that the *larger* the book,
the *lower* the risk for people wishing to publish it in physical
medium. Very few people are happy to read large tomes electronically. A
publisher such as the ARRL, or the RSGB would have a virtual monopoly
on the market if they were prepared to back such a book.
