I read from lwn.net that this > will not be GPL-ed. If so, how long before we will get the electronic version? Yes, it will be available free online like the 2nd edition. No, it will not be under a GPL license, as the GPL doesn't work so well for published works. It will be under a creative commons license (can't remember the exact one at the moment, sorry.) And no, I don't know exactly when it will be available online, give them a bit of time to get it set up properly. As for if the book is out yet, I know of a few people that have a copy, but I don't yet (and I'm one of the authors.) O'Reilly is announcing the book at LWE this week, so perhaps they are waiting until then to seed the publishing channel with it. thanks, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
