Books are quite different to software. How many free Linux : books do you know of? Actually, there has recently been a few by O'Reilly (not Linux books specifically) that are being released as "open source books". DocBook: The Definitive Guide, I think, is one. Personally, I think the idea of everyone working and improving on a book's source doesn't make as much sense as software. However, it is a neat way to go. : If you want the book, buy it. I also suspect putting the book html online : is a violation of copyright not to mention bad taste. I do agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. Greg and the publishers have an agreement and are using the copyright how they see fit here. Going around them is illegal and wrong.
