Hello,
I have translated into Russian first two parts of the PostgreSQL
documentation and want to publish my work.
Can I create app for Google Play Market as an e-book that will contain
my translation?
Can I make it paid?
Should I add some special notices to the doc?
If you're interested in it, I can send you my translation.
When the translation will be completed I would be happy to see it as
existing official Japan and French manuals.
Best wishes,
Alexander

The manuals are BSD-licensed, just like the source code is. You can do
anything you want with it; selling a translation is certainly an option
and has been done before. I don't think you are required to add notices
(but you're free to do so if you wish). IANAL.

That sounds great.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it says. We would of course always
appreciate a link back.
We've had others who've actually paid us a royalty on their sales, but
that's been purely voluntary.
Note that as long as it's paid for its not going to get linked from the pg
websites of course.

"Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its
documentation for any purpose, without fee, and without a written
agreement is hereby granted, ***provided that the above copyright notice
and this paragraph and the following two paragraphs appear in all
copies***." [my emphasis]
In a book, this would typically appear in the imprint on one of the
first few pages. (This happens automatically if you use the DocBook
sources and the standard toolchains.)

Thank you for your answers.
Yes, I will make the pdf from the docbook, just adding myself as a
translator (in section "othercredit").
Best regards,
