The text reads:

===
1) The textbooks and other materials are placed under a creative
commons attribution license that allows others to use, distribute,
and create derivative works based upon the digital material while
still allowing the authors or creators to receive credit for their
efforts.

Will someone try to weasel that to CC-by-nc rather than just CC-by? I
see CC-by-sa would also fall under it.
