Looking for free (as in [speech, beer]) books to host

In order to make The

Farm: The Tucows Developers’ Hangout (the blog which I actually get paid to write) more

useful to its audience, I’m planning to set up an area where you can

download programming books and other documentation that can be freely

distributed. Books that will be available here soon include Mark Pilgrim’s excellent

Dive Into Python, and the How to Think Like a Computer

Scientist series (which cover Java, Python, Logo

and C++), all of which are licensed under the GNU FDL (the Free Documentation

License).

If you know of similar books that have similar distribution licenses,

drop me a line or

leave a comment and let me know what they are!
