freeing books (Complex Predicates for a start)

[Stefan Müller]

Dear colleagues,

There is a new crowd funding platform that has the goal of making books 
available under the Creative Commons license. Right holders (authors or 
publishers) can start crowd funding campaigns to raise money to buy the 
books back from commercial publishers and to release them as 
e-books/PDFs under a Creative Commons license. If you find this idea 
interesting you can register with unglue.it and add books to your 
wishlist. Once an unglueing campaign is started you will get informed 
and can contribute.

I started an ungluing campaign for my Complex Predicate book published 
by CSLI Publications:

https://unglue.it/work/117745/#

Personally, I would join any campaign for unglueing books I bought and 
any HPSG, LFG, TAG-related work. I would pay a third of the list price 
to make these books publicly available. Dikran Karagueuzian from CSLI 
Publications knows about this initiative.

Let's make our research results freely available!

Best wishes

         Stefan
