Salut les amis,

J'ai un projet un peu fou : écrire un livre sur Oracle (astuces, tips, choses étonnantes...) en espérant que cela sera utile à des DBA et développeurs

Pour l'auto-édition, j'ai un livre acheté sur Amazon qui est très bien.
Avez-vous, par le plus beau des hasards, des liens avec des retours d'expérience, comment faire, faut-il éviter le format kindle car facilement piratable, quel statut avoir (auto-entrepreneur...)?

Merci à vous tous pour votre aide

J'ai contacté AskTom et ils m'ont répondu en privé.
Je copie/colle ici leur réponse, car cela peut intéresser plusieurs personnes; je mets en souligné et en gras les points vitaux.

"If you head over to https://www.oracle.com/legal/trademarks.html

you'll see

Titles

Oracle permits use of its marks in single volume book titles (not magazines or periodicals) where such use is descriptive or referential. To avoid misleading the public as to Oracle sponsorship, affiliation or endorsement, the Oracle mark must not appear more prominently than the rest of the title, and do not use Oracle logos on the cover. In addition, we request that you include a disclaimer of association with Oracle on the copyright page.

And I'd strongly recommend reaching out (and getting something in writing) from Oracle Legal at +1.650.506.5600 or trademar_us@oracle.com just to make sure you are covered.

Good luck with the book! "

Voici la réponse du service Oracle des marques (je mets en gras/souligné ce qui me semble le plus important) :
