Sorry, guys (and I use the term gender indifferent), this copyright discussion between Gerald and me got way out of hand. We'll keep it off-list from here on in.
For the record:
I import Pouch folding boats commercially.
I run the non-commercial FoldingBoats mailing list.
Frankly there's apparently little overlap between people willing to pay for a commercial folding boats and people willing to go to the trouble of building their own. So let's accept that the commercial and the non-commercial aspects of my folding boat involvement separate themselves quite automatically.
I'm translating the Mayr book and will part with copies against payment. I cannot say that I could justify calling this as a commercial venture, however. :-)
I may go to the trouble of updating the book every few years, partially from my own experience and partially from what others contribute in terms of information, clever detail solutions and their experiences. Those contributors are and will be duly credited (as have all contributors to the existing Mayr material very diligently as far back as the 1920s). The price of the book covers the cost of production plus a rather small consideration for the work that's going into it.
Any material that may or may not find its way into future editions of this ongoing work via the FoldingBoats mailing list will also be available in the archives of that mailing list for "free". The only difference in the book would be that the contributions would be edited so that they fit the text most conveniently and efficiently for the reader and potential builder of folding boats, who might have an interest in them.
If anyone here has any problems with that approach, please shoot at me off-list at rch3149@aol.com or at FoldingBoats@aol.com (my private email address, not to be confused with the submission address of the FoldingBoats mailing list, which is FoldingBoats@PouchBoats.com)
Best regards,
Ralhp Hoehn
