non-commercial aspects of my folding boat involvement separate themselves
quite automatically.

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.

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.
