    The last version was, but this current version is not. Maybe it will be in the future, but as of right now it isn't.

    Looking very closely, I do see that it's under the Open Publication License v1.0 in fine print at the bottom of the copyright page. My apologies for not looking closer earlier.

    Actually, both of these books are available online, "An Introduction to C++ with Design Patterns in Qt 4" can be found at http://www.freetechbooks.com
    and "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4" is available at another site

    I didn't link directly to the books because I don't know those sites policies, so just search for the books, they're very easy to find. It's funny, at the other site there's an ads by google section and the ad when I just went there was for Trolltech

    If you like the books, please support the authors and buy them.

    {edit} removed second link till I can verify it.

    I'm pretty sure they're ok. The freetechbooks.com site was featured on digg.com some time ago. The other one I'm not that sure about though. I'll remove that link till I can more guarentee that site is ok. That second book is published under the Open Publication License, v1.0, so it should be ok to post right?

    It's not right, but it isn't against the law (if I understood that licence correctly).

    Ok, well that first book is on some openwiki thing at some university website which is linked to from the freetechbooks site. I won't post the second book, then. Besides, you need to buy the book if you want the cd as well. It definitly looks like it's worth buying though.

    The http://www.opencontent.org/openpub/ site seems to indicate dstributing it ok as long as it isn't specified in the copyright notice not to distribute or something, I dunno, it's a little unclear to me.

    Is it just my connection or is the site horribly slow? Do these people provide a PDF? I found a wiki-type document which is not off-line-capable. And what was the other link? Did you verify?

    Ya that other site hosts torrents of e-books, and while it may be legal for the qt book, I can't veify that all the books on that site are legit, hence my removal of the link. You can find the book here though:

    Does anyone have Source Code of the examples in the C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4
    We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them

    Ok, so the book is Open License. chm is kinda messy.

    Can anyone make it a PDF and distribute it along with the CD? (I'm requesting it, not asking if the action of distributing is legal)

    Why do it?
    Well nobody has to do it, but I believe in Open Source Software, and distributing it would make a huge benefit to us all. Maybe someone kind enough has the time and is willing to do it, maybe if we get enough posters that ask for this.

    Would be glad to hear opinions on this.
