Crowdsourcing to CC license (text)books: Physics here; what else? (unglue.it)
1 point by Steuard on May 1, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment


Much of unglue.it's goal seems to be to make out of print books available again, but their model could have great potential to democratize education. If any popular introductory physics textbook (or math, or CS, or whatever) from the last 10-20 years were freely available as an ebook, it could be a real game changer for countless students (and the whole publishing industry).
