Self-publishing simply means that the author is the publisher. This can be for any kind of book. I personally self-publish a GFDL book, and can provide guidance for anyone wanting to do something similar. Open licenses means that micro-publishers (which include self-publishers) can publish books that they have not paid to write. Technically, anyone could download my book and publish it on their own. In fact, I believe that is actually happening for translations. Most people do not because it would be a waste of time to simply re-publish under another title what someone else is already the de facto seller of.
