A few months ago, I stumbled upon the fact that a bunch of MIT Press books that are listed on the Internet Archive have been relicensed, including some that aren't (currently) part of this collection. For example, the 1995 book World War II And The American Dream contains this Creative Commons dedication in the frontmatter[1]:
> This file has been authorized and provided by the publisher, The MIT Press, as part of its ongoing efforts to make available in digital form older
titles that are no longer readily available.
> This file is provided for non-commercial use through the Internet Archive under a CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license. For more information please visit www.creativecommons.org.
The exact text of this notice can vary from book to book, and I have a hunch that I haven't seen all of them. Somewhat annoyingly, the status/metadata for these items hasn't been updated, so they are still listed as being limited preview titles, which requires you check them out and AFAIK also means their contents are not available for download (even though the Creative Commons license allows unlimited copies).
