Hi,

I'll ask the authors to clarify the license.

 From the authors copyleft approach, I assume the GFLD is fine and  
the book can be located to the Wikibooks for people to work on it. I  
think in the wikified Wikibooks version there could be then a link to  
the PDF, too.

To whom the authors should write their statement about the license?

	- Teemu
