Hi All,


The SELF project (*) and the Open University of Catalonia have jointly
produced the book "Introduction to Free Software", a really wonderful
compendium of all you want to know, and to share, about Free Software
(formerly 'F/OSS' or 'FLOSS') (**).

It's 200p + 80 p appendixes. Free to download at:

You must then go to (down the page, 'attachments'):

Introduction_to_FS--SELF.pdf    2.09 MB
for the book, and to:

Introduction_to_FS--SELF_errata.pdf     38.18 KB
for the errors (a few)


A print version is also available, but even at costprice, pricey: Euro 11
+ postage (add the same amount...). So what you could do is to print it on
locale and distribute it around. The whole thing is of course copyleft!

-------------------------

(*) Now formally terminated, and is being continued thru the Free
Knowledge Institute (http://www.freeknowledge.eu/)

(**) After that book I decided to do away with the cumbersome, confusing,
and ill-defined 'Open Source'. For me it's now Free Software all the way.
Never mind people who still think it's about beer... ;-)
