Reviews
* Starting March 18, 2018, the licence for published reviews changed from CC BY-ND to
CC BY. (Older reviews still retain the CC BY-ND designation.) This was done to more easily
share reviews with other collections. This information, along with a statement clarifying
that the copyright for reviews is held by the reviewer, has been clarified on the [

When open textbooks are replaced with new editions, PDFs of the reviews for the older
edition are now compiled in a zip file and posted by the new version of the textbook. A
README file is included in the zipped file explaining this arrangement and the reason for
it.
