Legal Stuff: Copying, Licensing, Selling

BookForge follows the GNU CopyLeft licensing model.

Here are some highlights:

* Authors retain rights to what they contributed, at the same time are not held responsible for variants that were added to the original.

* Modifying (and/or adding to) contents of the book are allowed, so long as the modifications are clearly identified and attributed to the author of the modifications.

* Commercial and non-commercial distribution.
A common misunderstanding of CopyLeft is that people think you are barred from commercial distributions. As the GPL Copyleft states:

"You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3"
