In order to make The
Farm: The Tucows Developers’ Hangout (the blog which I actually get paid to write) more
useful to its audience, I’m planning to set up an area where you can
download programming books and other documentation that can be freely
distributed. Books that will be available here soon include Mark Pilgrim’s excellent
Dive Into Python, and the How to Think Like a Computer
Scientist series (which cover Java, Python, Logo
and C++), all of which are licensed under the GNU FDL (the Free Documentation
License).
If you know of similar books that have similar distribution licenses,
leave a comment and let me know what they are!

Not sure about the license, but Bruce Eckel’s Thinking in… series had some sort of voluntary mirror program at some point.
Ah, here’s the relevant link
