Okay Thanks, I think I get it.
About your quote "OR, you must clearly mention in your printed book a website
where anyone can go to download the book in a Transparent electronic format,
again, something like TXT or HTML." is what you mean my website or your
website?

More or less. To be exact: if you sell the printed version, you must include
with it a CD which contains your translation in plain text, HTML or a similar
plain format which the license calls a Transparent format. For example, a
Microsoft Word document is not a Transparent format and you should not use that.
OR, you must clearly mention in your printed book a website where anyone can go
to download the book in a Transparent electronic format, again, something like
TXT or HTML.
As for the original documentation: you don't have to include the full original
documentation, but you do have to include the names and other given information
of all the authors of the original documentation, as per section 4
(Modifications), as well as several other important pieces of information which
are mentioned in that section.
To be on the safe side, I would definitely suggest you get the services of a
lawyer to explain to you your rights and duties under the license, or at least
print out and carefully look through the license with a friend.
Hope this helps,
Yawar
