I had never heard of cnx before but just checked their site:

"a place to view and share educational material made of small knowledge chunks 
called modules"

If that is all they do, it doesn't seem they would be interested in complete 
works. If they will that sounds cool. Especially for work we ourselves 
originate, nothing requires to foot the entire bill for hosting the gifts we 
give. (At least I have never seen anyone put forward such a theory.)
