Legal Question

[kgoerz]

Here's another question for everyone. I searched on here and couldn't find anything relating to this. It should make for interesting discussion. Me and a friend wrote a training book while in the Army (7th SFG) A company wants to publish it for public sale. We want to know what the legal rules are for doing this. The facts about the book are below.

1. We were not assigned to write the Book it was done on our own initiative.

2. There is nothing classified or sensitive in the book.

3. We are both out of the Army now.

4. The book was worked on during duty hours.

5. All photos in the Book were taken with a personal camera not a government camera.

6. Everything in the Book is already public knowledge. The info just has never been gathered together in the present format. It won't help the enemy any more then the thousands of training and fighting manuals out there.

7. The Company approached us about publishing it. Im not marketing this Training Book but if someone is going to pay us for it I don't want to break any laws or rules out there. Any other questions please ask.
