I think personally that this is a complete "non issue".
If the posted book contains the PG licence agreement, then that agreement states what can and cannot be done with the book.
If the book
doesn't contain the PG licence agreement, then it is protected by copyright law even if you don't put a copyright notice in it, and you have the absolute right to control its distribution and copying.
This applies in every country which is a signatory of the Berne Copyright Convention - ie practically every country in the world.
