My first impression is "that sounds excellent!"
So the question is should we have a response? I think
this could generate
position press for our movement. Attribution could be better (I would
consider theirs to be borderline). Additionally should we be adding this
textbooks to Wikiversity or Wikibooks to make sure they stay free available?
We could work with them to fine-tune the attribution.
But yeah, if they check out as doing the right thing then this is
complete success for us.
