Congrats Rob. I for one am working on a small booklet for the sys admins who use mac as the server or in a network environment.
I am not the guy who invented any of the tips that I am workin on except that I discovered some in the process. I for one understand that the process was always there and what I did was use it in my own way. I am documenting them for others to read and use. So what I am asking for is not the rights to the process but the effort I put in giving it to the masses. I your case it might be different. But what I understand that you are doing is absolutely right.
The question of copyright does not arise as you an editor and have every right to use content from your published material.
If I post to a site, it is implied that in future I can be quoted. No one needs my permission. But if I have defined a process and that process has to be quoted all I would need is a mention. Nothing more, nothing less.
I will be one who would like to buy your book. I say "Like" cause I am far away in India and the local book seller for O'Reilly does not carry the Mac books. I have to place order 60 days in advance and pay twice the dollar money in local currency. Well so be it.
Please let the world ejoy the fruits of your labor. Great work Rob.

Another thing lastly: I appreciate the site a lot. I may not be able to contribute. I think that you earn the right to publish the book as you do a gret service to the Mac community at large.
