Yes. I have thought about it for a long time, and I have to agree with you.
Not because of any value judgement about the book, but because it falls short
of being free software. I think that people who want the book can read it on
the web or buy it in a bookstore, but it's not free software and we have no
business distributing it.

	Thanks
