There are Linux Books that are sold as HardCopy but the EBooks are free to distribute I believe. Also, since the other site is distributing these books without trouble, wouldn't it be safe to assume that these IT EBooks are also Public Domain ? If they can be verified to be Public Domain, then can't they be hosted here ? Thanks.
