Broken Logic
Okay, let’s follow this. Standard copyright says, “don’t copy this.” The CC license chosen says, “you may copy all or part of this for non-commercial use.” Then the addendum says, “you may not copy all or part of this, even for non-commercial use.” So why did you include the CC license if you were just going to nullify it one sentence later? Idiots. Still, a free 1,600-page physics book is a free 1,600 page physics book. Grab one. Help End the "Protect America Act" and Restore Balance to the GovernmentSeptember 21, 2007 - 5:48pm

We are grateful for this public experiment and demonstration; it has taught us much. We did not believe that rationalists were so utterly mad until they made it quite clear to us. We did not ourselves think that the mere denial of our dogmas could end in such dehumanised and demented anarchy. It might have taken the world a long time to understand that what it had been taught to dismiss as mediaeval theology was often mere common sense; although the very term common sense, or communis sententia, was a mediaeval conception. But it took the world very little time to understand that the talk on the other side was most uncommon nonsense. It was nonsense that could not be made the basis of any common system, such as has been founded upon common sense.” — The Well and the Shallows, NY: Sheed & Ward, 1935, 79-80 – G. K. Chesterton
