A Musical Interscriptor - How to make and use it
Hi, Bkpsusmitaa. Wikibooks is not a library of pre-developed texts. Our sister project, Wikisouce, suits that purpose, so I recommend that you add this book there instead. If you would like to develop a textbook on Wikibooks using the material in that book as a base, the author must first release his work under the GFDL.

A Musical Interscriptor - How to make and use it
Yes, of course, Hagindaz. Thank you for your kind co-operation. I am both the inventor of the patented device and the author of the book. But I do not wish to release my book under GNU license. So I took creative commons license instead. I am new to Wikipedia submissions and due to its information overload, I found it difficult to learn the basic things. I am a slow learner and take time to pick things up. However, could you PLEASE help post the book to the wikisource, and spread the word around? By the way, how is your name pronounced? And which country are you from? Good to hear from people like you. You are so co-operative! ____________________________________________________________________________________________

It seems your work is not suitable for Wikisource after all, sorry for giving you bad information. s:Help:Adding texts states that a text "must be released under a license compatible with the GFDL (or public domain)" and "must allow commercial or noncommercial redistribution." If you do wish to license the book under a GFDL compatible license, then follow the procedures listed on s:Help:Adding texts. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. --hagindaz 17:37, 23 July 2006 (UTC) ___________________________________________________________________________________________

So is it that my book is not suitable to be published in the Wikipedia at all? Kindly inform. ___________________________________________________________________________________________

Everything published on Wikimedia projects, except for Wikinews which is CC-by, must be released under the GFDL. Since as the author you own the copyright to this book, you can release it under the GFDL if you like. Doing so would allow others to make derivative works and sell your book, so you would be giving up the protections you have chosen in the Creative Commons license. Then you would either add it to Wikisource if it does not violate s:Wikisource:What Wikisource includes and you would like others to read but not modify it (though they would not be prohibited from modifying it), or to Wikibooks, where users will be able to make changes you might not agree with. If you don't want to release your book under GFDL, you may be able to add it to Project Gutenburg, a site not associated with the Wikimedia Foundation. I am not familar with Project Gutenburg's policies, so I suggest that you contact them for more information. Oh, my name is simply a nickname, not my real name. I hope this has been helpful, hagindaz 20:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC) ___________________________________________________________________________________________

Thank you very much. You are indeed very co-operative.
