Hi Alan,

I'm am well aware of the DRM plague However I shall admit that for this
time I didn't checked before accepting the book review because I was
pleased to help people do what I didn't manage to do myself: write a CMake
book.

I know both authors now and I'm pretty sure they don't want to put any
knowledge in a cage.

Don't take my words as bare advertisement but as enthusiasm for freedom.
Next exchange on this off-topic will go off the CMake Mailing List.
