Well since this is turning into a thread I'll offer my thoughts here.
Yes, the manual is in the public domain, and yes you may copy it. Notice I said "it", referring to the printed manual. By printing the manual from the CD you are not copying the manual, you are instead using the work of McCurtain to produce a new manual. There's nothing wrong with printing a page or manual if you wish and using it yourself, but when you produce and sell a product that you could not have done so without the work of McCurtain then you are in very gray water and in my opinion you're probably violating the copyright issues. I.e. the manual in PDF format is copyrighted by them ( The means, not the manual ) and so you used copyrighted materials to produce your new product. So, I believe it's a copyright infringement to sell a manual based on this CD. I bet if you call them up they'll tell you the same thing. Keep in mind that a person can lose a copyright/patent by not going after people that infringe on it as well. So I suspect legal issues are possible by this method of producing the manual if they become aware of it, and I suspect as the legal system goes that anybody who helped in this endeavor can also be in hot water.
In any event, the poster communicated to me that he would withdraw the offer, I had hoped he would see fit to delete the post and this whole topic would never come up to cause problems. You just have to click the edit button and at the botton the delete button.
