I am curious about sources for the book - are those freely and openly available too? It seems you do not mention source location, neither at the web page nor inside the PDF. The final URL in the pdf - http://software.booki.cc - seems to not work.

Re: [IAEP] It's a book!
This is really exciting. Thank you so much to the Education team. What a fantastic Christmas present to the world. It joins a big family of Booki free books for Sugar.

I am involved in Debian, where we go by a principle that code and documentation must be Free not only in its binary (i.e. consumer) form but also its source. It is not satisfactory that some kind of source can be derived from the binary (e.g. reverse engineering, screen-scraping etc.) but that the preferred source format of the authors is made available. By no means to I mean to impose this principle must apply to this book. But I am curious _if_ it does apply, because then I have the opportunity of getting the book included with Debian, and that way also included with Skolelinux, which I am sure would be quite appreciated and used. Hope that makes sense.

Yes its free and we would love to see the book and Etoys n Skolelinux. The beauty of Etoys is all the source is available and you can look at it and modify it right inside Etoys.
