If CreateSpace were to look, they'd notice that I'm selling the manuals at no profit to me. (That is, I set the price as low as they will allow me and they're the only ones making money from the sales.) One would think that would help alleviate their concerns a bit. I expect a large number of their users are publishing Creative Commons–licensed works through their service. But if they're adamantly opposed to making money selling our work, then I guess I'll have to find another service that's more amenable. :-) Hopefully they'll decide they were in error and make the manuals available once more. —Kevin _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
