This is like looking at a dog barking and wagging its tail at the same time.
ReplyDeleteWow. Seriously???
ReplyDeleteWell, that is truly bizarre. This book was released as non-OA with a commitment that it would go fully OA (CC BY) after one year. I guess that's sort of what this is trying to say. But it's Just Plain Wrong to state CC BY when the book is not yet under that licence.
ReplyDeletearguably the cc by license could constitute "permission in writing"?
ReplyDeleteMIT Press has published a corrected copyright page which you can see posted on Peter Suber's web page for the book (link below) as well as in digital editions.

Thank you, MIT Press, for allowing Google Play to make available a revised copyright page. Unless you object, I'll go ahead and circumvent the DRM and post it here, too.
