There is <http://shakthimaan.com/what-to-do.html#faq> which states

"I have retained the publishing rights for the book for the following reasons:

Books on software and documentation can be released under a free and
open source documentation license. An artistic piece of work, such as
this book, is the author's version and it shouldn't be derived or
obfuscated.

The book has been in the making for many years, and covers a lot of
material. The presentation, on the other hand, is only a partial
outcome of the book, and will continue to remain freely available."

With that in context, since he is a good friend, have you attempted
involve him in a discussion expressing your unhappiness?
