Hi Gisle:

Are the illustrations useless without the text? We had hoped that the
illustrations were valuable in their own right too.

As regards the book, we'd be happy to put that out under a CC-BY
license but don't really have a way to make available the source files
in an editable format.

I had figured that the CC license on the last page would over-ride the
Copyright clause on the colophon page. Am I wrong or is it just
confusing?

In your view, would it be worthwhile to make available the images and
text in a book format as a PDF? Or the images and text independently?

Thank you your feedback!

Best,

Gautam
