The form is clearly aimed at authors and that book's copyright clearly makes it ineligible. They're asking for free ("as in freedom") textbooks, not for people to upload pdfs of ebooks that they know of.
- puredemo 15y agoThe copyright explicitly says it can be republished. Also, you realize it's from a California State edu address, right? It isn't just some random e-book.
- calpaterson 15y agoIt can be republished only provided no charge is made. They want a book that the author owns the rights to, and is willing to put out under CC-BY. Just because something has a liberal licence, doesn't mean it's compatible with other liberal licences. This ebook, for example, would not be considered FOSS (it couldn't be put in Debian, for example).
