It doesn't look like you understand the difference between "legallypossible" and "good idea". It's too bad you printed a book of badquality just because you didn't contact the documentation team first.It could have been great to prepare a top-quality version of the manualwith the team and release it as a book.
It's exactly the same when people take GIMP source code, brand it"MyPhotoshop" or whatever, and sell it. Then buyers complain that thereare bugs - of course, by the time they buy it, most bugs are fixedand new features have appeared, but they will never see that. So,this is legally allowed, but the seller shouldn't be surprised when thedevelopment team isn't very happy about the situation.
