STOP!!!!
Did you notice the
FREEDOMS
we’ve granted you?Our copyright license is
different!

•
We know people copy textbooks illegally but we would LOVE it if you copiedour’s - go ahead copy to your hearts content,
legally!
•
Publishers’ revenue is generated by controlling the market, we don’t want anymoney, go ahead, distribute our books far and wide - we DARE you!
•
Ever wanted to change your textbook? Of course you have! Go ahead, changeours, make your own version, get your friends together, rip it apart and putit back together the way you like it. That’s what we really want!

•
So what is the catch? The only thing you can’t do is take this book, makea few changes and then tell others that they can’t do the same with yourchanges. It’s share and share-alike and we know you’ll agree that is only fair.
•
These books were written by volunteers who want to help support education,who want the facts to be freely available for teachers to copy, adapt andre-use. Thousands of hours went into making them and they are a gift toeveryone in the education community.
