In that format though. I'm aware of a few Apress books that are CC licensed but it seems that the actual published PDFs are not. Copyright attributed to covers

- kgo 16y agoYeah, I've also seen O'Reilly books where they did allow people to distribute the "official" typeset pdf: http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/oreilly-book/ http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/oreilly-book/ But I think at worst, this link would be gray-market rather than black market. Of course the original link has no context, so I can see why the OP expressed concern.
- robryan 16y agoWeird that they would charge $34 for an ebook when it is also available free online though, does their formatting really add that much value? I guess may would pay that price without knowing it is also available free online, personally I'd rather make a donation to the author than pay O'Reilly.
