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
