You didn't get the point - you're in *NO* position to speak
for "the users of free software".
You may think that because a few people just said so.

WHAT? Do you understand what Alex said? You have in *NO* position to
speak for "the users of free software". You have no right to speak for
them. We didn't elect you. I don't even know who the heck you are.

But it appears I
did co-write a book for Ubuntu beginners last year,

Do you think that writing a book about Ubuntu gives you the right to
speak for all free software users? I co-wrote 5 books on OpenOffice.org.
So now I can speak for you?


I explained basic things about hardware, according to the researches I
had done,

That's fantastic. But you have NO RIGHT to speak for all free software
users.

We are three co-authors, and these 6 months work of my part is one of my
contributions.

I spent several years working on the books I co-wrote. So what?

It's not for the money, it brings peanuts.

My books are free, under the GPL and Creative Commons Attribution
license. I did not get a single dollar from them. So what?
