I'll try to keep my opinions brief on this. I support the idea of
O'Reilly publishing an FAQ collection and donating profits to RTFM,
ohio-state, and other on-line FAQ repositories. They should brag
about this on the cover, too. They'd probably even have a nice
page layout with URL's clearly visible everywhere.

I also support the Walnut Creek CD-ROM, and if O'Reilly gave to
the various archives, maybe we could guilt Walnut Creek to do it also.

I even support the bozo publishing our work without attribution.
Just like anybody is allowed to publish a phone book, anybody should
be able to redistribute my work (although, I'm a mite pissed about
the credit-where-credit-is-due stuff). Now, if somebody looks
through both books at the store, they're more likely to buy
the better book, which I hope would be "our" book.
