Licensing of the Bourne Shell Scripting Tutorial

Why don't I release it as GPL, GFDL or Creative Commons? I just want to be the sole distributor, so that:

  • I know how many readers it gets
  • People know to contact me with comments, amendments, etc
  • Nobody else takes the credit for my work
  • There is only One True Version of the tutorial, without any confusing forks

You are still free to make copies for personal use - whether that's for reading offline, or whatever. I just request that you not redistribute it, via the web, print, or any other medium.

If you have a particular reason to want to do something else, please just contact me and I'm sure we'll be able to sort something out; maybe you can just link back to this site.
