I found an interesting free ebook online about the C programming language. The book is a little bit old, and seems to be released under an ad hoc free license, like PD but maintaining the copyrights. I've read over the license and don't think there would be a problem uploading a copy to Wikibooks under the GFDL, especially not if we sent them a nice email explanation.
Our current C book is a little bit neglected, and an influx of this material might help bring it up to a higher quality level very quickly. What do other people think about this?
