[9fans] 3rd edition documentation

[forsyth@vitanuova.com forsyth@vitanuova.com]

>>Don't know - I was just going by the fact that the 2nd release
>>manuals have the AT&T logo on the spine, and were Copyright AT&T.

AT&T split itself into independent bits later, Lucent being one.

>>I am not sure how ownership/responsibility is divided amoungst
>>AT&T, Lucent, Bell Labs, Harcourt Brace, Vita Nuova etc.

Lucent owns Plan 9 and licences it (using the licence you will have
seen on the Bell Labs distribution site).

>>Is it perhaps the case the Harcourt Brace was engaged by AT&T
>>as exclusive packager/distributor for the second release, and
>>Vita Nuova is the first of possibly many non-exclusive
>>packer/distributors of Lucent's release.?

I don't know what the HB arrangement was, but I can say definitively
that we are not `engaged' to do this by Lucent.

>>It isn't obvious to me if Lucent will be printing and selling
>>documentation to resellers and end-users, or if the resellers
>>will be responsible for arranging their own printing.

Vita does its own publishing (we pay someone to do the actual printing
but we prepare the printer-ready files, organise art work, CDs).
