Be sure to note that this is *that* newspapers response, not a blanket permission to include all newspaper's articles. Anyone doing a book should contact the newspaper from which the article was taken directly whether you are doing it for your family or for profit is irrelevant until the newspaper says so. Until the newspaper co. says it's ok, don't assume it is, even tho 9 out of 10 are going to give permission in a non-profit situation.
