This site[1] appears to have converted a large portion of the Gutenberg etexts to Microsoft Reader (.lit) format, and are selling a CD of these for $14.95/cd. They clearly state[2] that they're reusing Gutenberg content directly, reformatted and converted to this other proprietary format. Closer inspection of the actual .lit files themselves still shows several references to Project Gutenberg in various places, but they aren't complying with the Gutenberg License[2], at least sections 1 and 2 that I can see: 1. Commercial use: The "small print" license includes a royalty schedule for commercial use of the Project Gutenberg trademark, including any sort of resale. 2. Modification: Only unmodified copies of these eBooks may be redistributed without limitation. If you make changes to eBooks (other than alteration for different display devices), you are prohibited from including the header or otherwise associating your derivative work with Project Gutenberg. Note especially that if you choose to make changes, then you must remove the header, and you may NOT use the Project Gutenberg trademark. Is this a violation? I only ask, because _another_ company is giving away the .lit books from the first site, on their own site[2] free of charge. I'd hate to have one bad company suck another one in through association.
