Maybe I'm off in left field (and certainly no offense intended towards
anyone), but the original post said . . .

"Let's say, for the sake of argument, that someone purchases the RIGHT to
legally reproduce Heathkit Manuals and pays Heathkit a royalty for each
manual."

This doesn't sound to me like he was planning on ripping off Heathkit.   I
read it as he was trying to find out if there was interest in his buying
the rights to the manuals from Heathkit and having them professionally
reprinted.   Maybe he was thinking of making it a cottage industry?   If so
maybe we should cut him a little slack??   Just a thought.
