Hi Alfred, To be totally honest, I'm not really sure. That may sound funny, but I've been afraid to push this issue with No Starch Press because I had to search long and hard for a publisher that would take on the project to begin with. For some reason, book publishers don't think people want to learn about the Autotools! I did mention a desire to have it licensed in this manner, and they seemed initially amenable to the idea, but when my contract came, it was full of clauses that indicate that I'd better not try to do anything that might inhibit book sales - and that makes sense because publishers are certainly in the business for the money. The initial text is still out on FreeSoftwareMagazine.com, and I've been meaning to at least go out and fix the lies I've discovered in that version during the last couple of years.
