If this is the same company which is licensing its software under a dual
GPL-and-proprietary model, I think it probably makes the most sense for
your company to simply license the manual under the GPL. This means
that your company is the only one which can distribute *printed* copies
of the manual without attaching a CD, diskette, or offer to provide source
code. Some people will probably be willing to pay for the
professionally printed copies. :-)
Note that, in the UK at least, adding a "free" CD jacks up the cost of a
printed manual/book significantly. Given that a typical O'Reilly sells
for between £20 and £40, adding a CD will also add about £5 tax to the
price (books are VAT-free, adding a CD makes the *entire* *package*
liable to 17.5% tax).
Cheers,
