I don't believe that to be the case. The Linux community is notoriously a
royal pain the ass to anything commercial. To the point where companies
will do almost anything they can not to deal with the wrath of the geek
commune we call home.

The pressure from the community to supply the book would surely
suffice. If it didn't we could remove the document. We could also denounce
the document.
