I'm sure you know this, but just reminding: you can still be able to
retain your copyrights and still be able to change the license(s)
under which your book is published at any point of time. Only that
when you release your books (under special terms to address@hidden OR
under an open source / free license), address@hidden OR people would be
able to make modifications. I donot know if modifications by others to
your books might hurt the intention with which you wrote the books,
but am sure it would be worth a big deal of help to address@hidden :)
We do have a book named 'Think like a computer scientist'[1] but that
book does not explain C++ in depth, though its python tutorial is very
nice in terms of introducing to OOP concepts. Being a fan of your
series, I wish it should be made available to all the poor children in
India.
