- iudqnolq 3y agoIn the context of technical books "source code for" often means "source code for [readers of the book to reference while reading]" rather than "source code for [building the book]"
- maximinus_thrax 3y agoI disagree. Words have meaning. 'Open source' means 'open source' in all contexts. For comparison, https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ is an open source book. A PDF with a CC license without a repo of the publishing artifacts is not an open source book. It's just a free book.
- iudqnolq 3y agoThe question is not whether it's open source, the question is what it is.
