What are the licenses under which the 'free' lisp books are made available online ? Specifically I am interested in SICP, PCL and On Lisp. The reason I ask is that we are putting together a DVD of some lisp resources and would like to include the above books on it. The DVD is for private circulation only (if that has any relavance). TIA. -- -- Alok What is the sound of one hand clapping?

I guess you'd have to ask permission to the owners of the copyrights before copying them. -- -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ COMPONENT EQUIVALENCY NOTICE: The subatomic particles (electrons, protons, etc.) comprising this product are exactly the same in every measurable respect as those used in the products of other manufacturers, and no claim to the contrary may legitimately be expressed or implied.

Just to know before I mail the authors, is such permission usually granted ? -- -- Alok "Do you believe in intuition?" "No, but I have a strange feeling that someday I will."
I don't think there's any clear "usually" here. One of the books you listed, PCL, is still in publication, so permission would probably need to be cleared with both the author and the publisher. Basically it boils down to, just ask the copyright holders, because no one else's opinion really matters in the end if they disagree. - josh g. On 9/9/06, Alok G.

Thank you for the responses. -- -- Alok You'd better smile when they watch you, smile like you're in control. -- Smile, "Was (Not Was)"
