Thank you so much, NAL. That is such a great relief to know as I have
already written this manual. 

Now a further question; as generally understood under the OSI terms, can
I call my manual "(Name of OSI program) Users Manual: A guide for
website developers"?  Or could using the name in a title be a problem
under the license? 

Thanks again,
Kerry
