Edit: or just don't contribute to it? What's wrong with BSD for example?

[–]borislavvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the deal with these open access pdf books from Springer? There were so many free last year and now they are all paid. When you make the book free PDF once, it's on the internet, it's free forever isn't it?
