Ok,
I found a copy of Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End in the Creative Commons, in .html format. This is a recently published book, so it's certainly NOT in the public domain, though because it's in the Creative Commons, there are *some* limited usage rights. Is it acceptable/legal/reasonable to convert to .prc and post it here?

I'm planning to try and wade through the legal stuff, but wondered if anyone already happened to know what the rules are? Thanks.
