Alex,
The copy of Underground I have is specifically marked "Copyright (c) 1997, 2001 Suelette Dreyfus & Julian Assange". That copyright was never given up and the book has never been in the public domain; it was however made freely available to the public through PG and that link by the authors (with publisher approval). It happens!
Now our man Julian, the great white haired hope, needs our support for himself and WikiLeaks, so he may need to sell some copies (not to mention the fact the world wants to read more about him and his friends during his youth, given the public interest as it is). This may mean he will need to sell a few copies of a (improved?) EPUB and print book in 2011.
To the best of my knowledge this won't prevent the continued availability of the current texts.
It might be an idea to contact PG and see about uploading an improved EPUB, and contact Suelette Dreyfus about upping to MobileRead (I'm guessing Julian would be busy).
