Revision as of 18:10, 12 October 2019
More and more electronic version of books get imposed on students to follow a class. Many of such books comes with DRM, which also forces students to run nonfree software. Paper books has no such restrictions, however book publisher can decide not to publish new versions of them anymore.
This page attempt to list electronic books that have no DRM, along with their license.
Free licenses for manuals are also essential for freedom as they enable to adapt the book, and redistribute it.
We hope to eventually move this to a more central resource.
