Somebody (or rather, a whole group of somebodies) made an error
localizing the unported CC-BY license for their country.  (Roughly
five ported licenses have clauses that are different from the unported
version, Not a bad error rate, especially considering how Creative
Commons constructs, and ports the licenses. )

CC-BY is probably the closest of the Creative Commons non-depreciated
licenses to that.

It should be within  the book, not on an external site.

Possible.

I don't understand the price difference for the PDF and hard copy.
(It would make far more sense if the prices were reversed.) (My
spreadsheet for Lulu publishing defaults to colour.  Thus, I initially
thought that the hard copy was losing money.)

Obviously misleading.  Not so obvious that it qualifies as "damage".  :(
