Well before the "Creative Commons," Sholder Greye pioneered the frontier of alternative "Intellectual Property" models.In the intervening time, several ebooks were produced from that text by others, even made available for sale; and when the Internet Archive absorbed etext.org, the text became available there. When various ereaders were released, Yarrow Paisley adapted versions for them; he also uploaded an updated version to the Internet Archive.And now, of course, with the advent of viable Print-on-Demand technology, Sholder Greye has been resurrected yet again, and his work is finally obtainable in the more durable print medium.view less
