I looked at the URL but did not find any legal information.
Did the original authors allow this? I do not have the printed version
handy, but in books usually a lot of copyright/translation right... is claimed
by the printer or by the authors.
I just ask because it would be a big pitty, if you did a lot of work and
are not allowed to distribute it.

Perhaps some words on legal blurb would be well spent on the site.

Bye,
Martin.
