California is reviewing 20 free math and science e-books that will be made available to teachers this fall. The state will leave it up to schools to figure out how to get the content to students, with solutions ranging from printing them out to handing them to students on CDs. This method, known as open source, could save the state millions.


I love the idea of free digital textbooks in my home state. Hey, it's possible my daughter could be reading one of these on her Jetbook.

But that doesn't make the distribution "open source."
