Well, there's only a tiny bit in that bitterness in the preface, actually
(and a tiny pun in the concluding chapter), but I deliberately tried to
make the title provocative, to sort of steal the audience from R ;]

I will add the legal notice by the end of the day (I only realized the lack
of it while I was writing the announcement)

I see you're an expert, so perhaps you could explain to me what would the

My original intent was to publish the software that comes along with the
book under GPL v3, because AFAIK GPL regards software, but if there's more
to it, then it would be nice to know

Thanks :)
