[FM Discuss] Deleting an unwanted book from My Manuals?

[adam]

ok, well i dont agree that someone can delete a free culture work. in my 
opinion when you share something your ownership stops right there - 
otherwise it is not sharing its just trading under a threat of ultimate 
sole proprietorship - and to me thats not sharing at all.

i do agree that a work should be altered in whatever way necessary to 
protect someone should they be put 'in harms way' through their 
attribution or contribution.
