When I asked Gustavo about proprietary manuals and books years ago, he said
that as long as the book was available to the public, it was not proprietary.
The litmus test he suggested was looking on amazon.com. If the book or manual
is selling on amazon.com, we can put it into the collection.
My 2 cents, Carrie
