There are so many people that work without a profit, why you should promote something "sell-able" only? I was hopping GNOME to have its own free book. We are in 2013, everything is online for free (at least in Free Software) and everything changes so fast, which a book will become obsolete in around 1 month. No need to mention that many people don't have money to buy it. Should we pay for knowledge? Nothing offensive to book author, just a thought. - alex > > Amazon e-books are particularly hostile to readers' freedom: see > stallman.org/ebooks.pdf. > > -- > Dr Richard Stallman > President, Free Software Foundation > 51 Franklin St > Boston MA 02110 > USA > www.fsf.org www.gnu.org > Skype: No way!
