I'm not sure which "page 2" you're referring to, especially since I'm not aware of a "Developer's Guide". Making a few assumptions, I'll ask you to follow the "Copyright" link near the top of http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html Is THAT what Kinkos finds insufficient? Do YOU think that would be insufficient? Do you think it should be? Please state what you know of Kinkos' requirements (and it would be good if you could find out and tell us, if you don't know much about them). How are you supplying the "original"? A URL? A floppy file? Multiple files? How will they accept it? Do they require that the license be in the same file as the document? On the same web site? Will they consider a semi-official (but non-binding) explanation of the license along with the license which they can't (or won't) understand? (This is the third time I've seen mention of Kinkos here.) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
