Anyone got Plan 9 4th edition manuals or Inferno Manuals? I will be
interested to buy them. Vitanuova used to sell them, but their payment
system is down for years now and has been brought up to Charles many
times, but it seem to be still down, so there is no way to buy it from
them.

Alternatively, you could still generate the two up-to-date PDF manuals
from /sys/doc and print them on one of the print-on-demand services.
You won't get the nice colorful covers though.

And you won't even get that far if the material contains the dreaded word
"Copyright"...
Yeah, it's freely redistributable. "But Sir, it's copyright!"
KwikCopy, I'm looking at you.

Plan 9 (including the manuals) is licensed under the LPL, which is
quite similar to the MIT license.

Indeed. Some years ago, we were hosting a standards meeting and went
out to copy the latest draft. The first shop would not touch it
because it said copyright -- despite the author being present with
identification. Kinko's, as it was then, copied it after we signed a
waiver.

The point is that a free license doesn't matter if the guy at the print
