I'm planning to publish a book in the following months, but I'm not entirely sure if the procedure is the same for both copyrighted and copy-lefted books. If you hadn't guessed, I'm publishing one with the latter license (i.e. Creative Commons). I'm planning on using Lulu.com for this first book, but I was wondering if there are publishing houses which are friendly towards copyleft media, preferably based somewhere in Europe.
Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated!

For self publishing there's really no difference.
I believe framasoft used to have a publishing house for CC-BY books but they might have shut it down during the great purge of two years ago.

The great purge? Like the alledged "great reset" or what exactly?

Oh sorry yes that sounded way too ominous without context
A couple of years back, Framasoft decided to get rid of all the projects that aren't their core activity, keeping stuff like Mobilizon and Peertube for instance. I think they might have gotten rid of their publishing house as part of this restructuring.

Ah, I see, it's a shame but I suppose I understand

@razrabotka My Necromancer's Apprentice is copyleft. You can find it on Smashwords, Amazon, and Archive. As well as everywhere else people have uploaded it.
