Subject: Linux Journal Press Releases "Linux In the Workplace" Under GNU FDL
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2003 08:30:35 CST
LINUX JOURNAL PRESS RELEASES "LINUX IN THE WORKPLACE" UNDER GNU FDL
Latest in a series of openly published books from No Starch Press imprint
New York - January 23, 2003 - Linux Journal Press, an imprint of No
Starch Press in partnership with Linux Journal, has announced that
"Linux in the Workplace" will be released under the GNU Free
Documentation License (FDL). The book's contents will be linked from
www.nostarch.com and www.linuxjournal.com beginning on February 15,
2003, the fourth anniversary of Windows Refund Day. This marks the third
release from No Starch Press in an open format and the second under a
free license. No Starch Press also published "The Linux Cookbook", by
Michael Stutz, in 2001 under the Design Science License (DSL) and
"Programming Linux Games", by John R. Hall, in a freely available format
in 2002.
Written by the Linux Journal staff, "Linux in the Workplace" focuses on
Linux desktop tools and how to use them in an office environment.
Don Marti, editor-in-chief of Linux Journal, emphasizes the free
software focus of "Linux in the Workplace" when he explains, "The free
software desktop is infinitely customizable, and gives companies and
users the ability to add any functionality. A license as free as the
software is necessary to keep the information up-to-date and accurate."
This most recent release under the GNU FDL underscores the wealth of
content now available under an open license. Bill Pollock, No Starch
Press publisher, explains, "GNU Press published free books before
anyone, and there are a handful of publishers who will risk the time and
effort to openly publish a book. We are willing to take that risk
because the benefits of a larger audience outweigh the potential loss of
readers that choose not to buy the book." Bradley Kuhn, Executive
Director of the Free Software Foundation, is pleased to see publishers
that appreciate the commercial benefits of free publishing. "Free
publishing is a perfect fit for the technical book market. We designed
the GNU FDL specifically to address commercial concerns that publishers
may have with free publishing." The decision to release "Linux in the
Workplace" under the GNU FDL was an easy one. Phil Hughes, the publisher
of Linux Journal, notes, "As publishers of documentation rather than
software, publishing under the FDL is a logical way for us to maximize
our contribution to the Open Source movememt."
Michael Stutz, the architect of the DSL, was enthused to write for a
publisher willing to consider an open license. "When I was writing The
Linux Cookbook, releasing a book with a 'copyleft' license was unheard
of; few publishers would consider it and even fewer had attempted it."
John R. Hall released his book online after the initial publication,
with positive results. "Everyone benefits from open publishing," says
Hall. "Authors enjoy wider audiences, publishers realize more sales from
free advertising, and readers get the high-quality electronic books they
deserve." According to Pollock, the decision is up to the author. "We
prefer that authors choose their own license when publishing with us,
recognizing that not all authors are comfortable with an open license.
As long as there are authors who want their works published openly, and
as long as the books sell, then we see no reason to stop."
