Open Source (everything)

I found an infographic via a Twitter follow about open-source textbooks from onlineschools.org. (Graphic to follow) The people at Flatworld Knowledge offer free e-books with extra options for self-print, black and white copies, and full color copies.  Much to the tune of any other open-source project, the info is reliable (if you generally believe in the reliability of open-source projects), and DRAMATICALLY cheaper.  I don't imagine that any of my EdTech books for my upcoming last semester will be available, but they've got several business titles, so anyone steering toward an MBA route is going to have more options.

I'm interested to see where these go.  (Only one math title to choose from for now.)
