THx for you answer.
Well actually the original paragraph in english is:
Any publication in standard (paper) book form shall require the citation
of the original publisher and author
I am not sure what this exactly means.
Actually IMHO this means that, you are allowed to make copies of pages
of it as long it is not published as a "standard book" or "standard
paperbook". So you are allowed to copy single pages with a copymachine
and use them for e.g. training.
Did I get that alright, or am I misunderstanding the license wrong.
Cheers
Jochen
