in this case, the editor is happy not just to reduce the costs, but to forget about them completely.

This is in case of needing of a page reproduction


Explanation:
Books are protected by copyrights, therefore you need a special permit to reproduct part or whole of that book. With this waiver, you wouldn't need such permit.

With a little more of the sentence, maybe I could tell you what it is in reference to.

I hope this is useful.
