Make of it what you will.

I would *highly* suspect that the 1997 translation is still under copyright no matter the claim of Creative Commons. The same website has the complete "Hitchhikers Guide" available in PDF also, and I'm *pretty sure* that is still under copyright. Though the author died in 1940, the book was not published for the first time until 1966 and the first English translation later in the 1960's. I've been searching for a legal free copy and all I can find are the questionable and the pirates.
