Shouldn't that be editors? Even if there is a single author now this 
will, hopefully, change in the future as refinements come from other 
contributors.

How are you crediting other contributions?

I'm not an author - so have no (significant) right to object. However, 
it might be useful to say I don't object ;-)

I assume RedHat don't want to be stuck with the full maintenance burden 
of the textbook and therefore I do have a concern about managing the IP 
of future contributions correctly. I've expressed this concern a number 
of times before and don't feel it is helpful to do so again. Hopefully 
the lawyers will be able to address these issues, or tell you there is 
no concern (which is even  better than jumping through legal hoops).

Well done on getting this far.
