While we're on the subject of the April 23 2003 press release, I
notice that this page:

http://creativecommons.org/projects/founderscopyright/oreilly

...lists a number of out-of-print books that "will" be made available
under the Attribution license. It says,

"The following O'Reilly technical books are out of print and set
to be released under an Attribution license once O'Reilly
obtains author permission. At that point, the Status field will
change to "cleared" and soon contain a download link to obtain a
copy of the book."

None of the links is enabled, though: even the ones marked "cleared".

O'Reilly has an Open Books Project:

http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/

...but the Attribution license isn't mentioned, and the books listed
on the CC page above aren't on there.

Just wondering what the deal is.
