Thanks for the notice, but they chose the CC BY-NC-SA licence, which hinders people who aim to earn a living working as commercial trainers, including in the civil/social-enterprise sector. NC is not allowed in FOSS. It's disappointing that a FOSS text book is NC. TOS gets this right, being CC BY-SA. How might it be possible to convince these HFOSS authors to do a similar thing?
