I have most all of the paper Factoy Workshop Manuals and got tired of running to the local Kinkos to make copies of sections to avoid getting the originals greasy. Since Porsche only offers these in paper and microfiche...I decided to have my manuals converted to Adobe PDF format and put on CDs. As you can imagine, it got a little expensive since I had to hire a place to scan them, another for the artwork, and another to burn the CDs.
I tried to contact Porsche regarding legality of redistributing, and/or redistribution license. After no response, I decided to sell a few to recoup my costs. By no means is this a commercial effort, and I will only be selling enough to cover my cost. I also had posed the question regarding packaging with a set of Microfiche...but have not received a response.
The CDs do clearly indicate that all material is copyright protected and for backup purposes only, for what that is worth.
I have not tried to hide my identity, nor mislead or misrepresent.
