The PDF is licensed to you, and is intended for your use. We don't do 
any DRM on it, but each PDF bears your name and a few other identifying 
marks. We don't restrict what our readers do, but we ask them to treat 
us fairly. Copying the book to friends is against the spirit of this.

The errata system was a quick hack (literally less than an hour on 
Thursday morning, but it's been one of the high point of the 
experiment. I'm loving having all the feedback in one place.
