Unglue.it is a a place for individuals and institutions to join together to make ebooks free to the world. We work together with authors, publishers, or other rights holders who want their ebooks to be free but also want to be able to earn a living doing so. We use Creative Commons licensing as an enabling tool to "unglue" the ebooks.
We live in a software culture - that is, a culture where the production, distribution, and reception of most content - and increasingly, experiences - is mediated by software. And yet, most creative professionals do not know anything about the intellectual history of software they use daily - be it Photoshop, GIMP, Final Cut, After Effects, Blender, Flash, Maya, or MAX.
