I have my own odd way of rewarding CC-licensed content:
If it has no DRM but is 'all rights reserved', and I really want a copy, I wait for a chance to buy it at a deep discount.
If it is released under a CC 'non-commercial' license, I buy a copy at full price.
If it is released under a CC license which allows commercial use, I pay extra for a copy (at sites like www.leanpub.com) or buy 2 copies.
At any rate, I would gladly pay for a copy (or two) of PAPL if the option were available and a CC license declared.
BTW, thanks for this resource!

I made a pay version of the PDF available, making clear it was also available for free, so people would only be buying it to reward the author. I'm pleased to say some number of people have done so with regularity.
