How come this book is available on download I mean what about copyright?
- detaro 10y agoIt's under a license that allows freely sharing it for non-commercial purposes.
- HCIdivision17 10y agoI've wondered about this: when it says non-commercial purposes, does that mean me downloading a copy to read for my work, or me printing and selling? I haven't any problem buying it, since it's useful for my job, but that distinction has been a bit fuzzy to me (and I'll normally just err on the side of buy, just to be safe).
- denzil_correa 10y agoCommercial would mean you make a gain from distribution of the book. Money can be one of the gains.
- HCIdivision17 10y agoThanks - distribution vs consumption always mix me up with the copyright rules.
