Supposing God forbid, Hood wrote his own manual on how to set up Mach3

He "Hood" would be within his rights if it was in written Hoods own words and ideas.

Whether we could afford it is another matter.

Don't tell him, he might get ideas. ;D

The manuals currently available for download, "Mach3Mill Install and Config Guide", "Using Mach3Mill" and "Using Mach3Turn" all include a copyright notice. That said, chunks of (at least) "Using Mach3Mill" are identical to sections in the NIST RS274 document - Hmmmm.
