License of the Ubuntu Book?

[adam hyde]

hi,

thanks for the link Jeremy to the chm. 

Can someone tell me how to understand the apparent license contradiction
in the books copyright notice. The section "Copyright" states:
===============
Copyright © 2007 Canonical, Ltd.

2.0 open publication license,

================

CC licenses, as I understand them, are _some_ rights reserved. The book
states its the Attribution Share-alike license ("by-sa"), which is a
'some rights reserved' wrapper around copyright (discarding the
non-premissive 'all rights reserved' which is the default for
copyright).

Why then does the copyright statement also state the material is 'all
rights reserved'?
