Ive just got to some idea of license issues, and currently keep the license
fixed to GFDL, as I think it closely fits the model of development &
distribution. Code to be licensed under public-domain style or as according
to the authors wishes.
If someone has enough time, and energy to lookinto the license issues, then
s/he could present the right choice. But IMHO GFDL suffices.

Not really. Choose K&R C style or GNU C style.
More importantly keep the programs ANSI C compliant.

I guess latex will be better.

You can become our editor if you wish. A native english speaker
is most welcome to the party!
You can start be correcting grammar/style in chapter titles, contents,
and suggest a good name for the book. Something international.
