Not at all. The only requirement is that give you give attribution
(credit) to the original book and original authors. That's why it's
called the Creative Commons "Attribution" license. (If we had used the
"Atrribution-ShareAlike" license, then yes, it would have viral effects
much like the GPL. But that's not what we're using.)
I would simply state that your book is a rewrite/variation of the
original book. Acknowledge the original three authors, the original
book's license, and if possible, link back to www.svnbook.org or
svnbook.red-bean.com.
