Russian translation publication

Alexander Law escribió:

Hello,

I have translated into Russian first two parts of the PostgreSQL
documentation and want to publish my work.
Can I create app for Google Play Market as an e-book that will
contain my translation?
Can I make it paid?
Should I add some special notices to the doc?

The manuals are BSD-licensed, just like the source code is. You can do
anything you want with it; selling a translation is certainly an option
and has been done before. I don't think you are required to add notices
(but you're free to do so if you wish). IANAL.

If you're interested in it, I can send you my translation.
When the translation will be completed I would be happy to see it as
existing official Japan and French manuals.

That sounds great.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it says. We would of course always
appreciate a link back.

We've had others who've actually paid us a royalty on their sales, but
that's been purely voluntary.

Note that as long as it's paid for its not going to get linked from the pg
websites of course.

+1,that would be excellent.

In a book, this would typically appear in the imprint on one of the
first few pages. (This happens automatically if you use the DocBook
sources and the standard toolchains.)

Thank you for your answers.
Yes, I will make the pdf from the docbook, just adding myself as a
translator (in section "othercredit").

Best regards,
Alexander
