They are a publisher. They publish a series of booklets, with real ISBNs and all. You can't buy them at Barnes & Noble or on Amazon, but they're still real, live, dead-tree editions. This is no different from most other publishers, except they charge much more reasonable fees for their booklets -- they are a 501c3 non-profit organization, after all. > I just think the > fact that some rights are reserved should be mentioned when you refer > to it.
