Everything's 100% automatic using the Python documentation tools,
(http://www.python.net/doc/) which use the current latex2html. One day
I'll proabably also have the info generation too.

In PDF, they're all the standard Adobe fonts for size and portability.
In Acrobat , look at File/Document Info/Fonts. It's done with
LaTeX \usepackage{times}.

No impact - the copyright just means "don't publish this thing as a book
without checking with me first." After all, I didn't write the content!
There's a lot of work to be done cleaning up the content - Maxima is huge,
and it's unclear to me how much of the content referes to things that
still exist. Still, I think it's well organized and complete,
and it's cross-referenced and indexed which is a big deal.
