We're not just teaching "mathematics" or "Python" or "programming" in a narrow sense. We're showing off what multimedia might do for us, encouraging students to emulate and then improve upon the workbooks themselves. We're teaching art, not just science, and maybe in that order for a welcome change.

I think it's important to open source these ideas before someone claims they were hidden in some nondisclosure agreement somewhere. I did the same thing with hypertoons. Maybe I don't get super rich, but then neither do a lot of undeserving lawyers -- a source of satisfaction for me.
