As you say, you can access it on GitHub for no charge with a Creative Commons licence. That's free by any definition. Alternatively you can pay cash for a physical copy or ebook, or pay with a tweet for prettier HTML. And yet you've still derailed the whole discussion with your complaint. You've dressed it up as "giving some feedback", but in the first sentence you're straight up accusing him of deception, which is not good faith, constructive comment that we expect on a Show HN.

To be pedantic, we're talking about the HTML version which was purported to be free. > You've dressed it up as "giving some feedback" but in the first sentence you're straight up accusing him of deception, which is not good faith, constructive comment You're free to disagree with me. The first sentence is not very constructive in and of itself, no. There are a few other sentences where I give a few reasons as to why I didn't take the bait. In summary, when I clicked through to the free HTML version, I hit a soft paywall asking me for many permissions, which caused me to leave the site. If I were building a marketing funnel, I'd like to know if people thought that way about it.
