Once I have formally verified my proof reading copy, which +should be in the mail, the paperback edition should be available in +book stores like Amazon and Barnes & Noble too.</p> + +<p>This French edition, Culture Libre, is the work of the +<a href="http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/">dblatex</a> developer Benoît +Guillon, who created the PO file from the initial translation +available from +<a href="http://www.wikilivres.ca/wiki/Culture_libre">the Wikilivres +wiki pages</a> and completed and corrected the translation to match +the original docbook edition my project is using, as well as +coordinated the proof reading of the final result.

In +addition to the paperback edition, the book is available in PDF, EPUB +and Mobi format from the github project page linked to above.</p> + +<p>When enabling book store distribution on Lulu.com, I had to nearly +triple the price to allow the book stores some profit. I also had to +accept that I will get some revenue when a book is sold via Lulu.com. +But because of the non-commercial clause in the book license +(CC-BY-NC), this might be a problem.

In the kFreeBSD variant of Debian +the ZFS feature is already available, and there +<a href="https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=zfsutils">the popcon +results for zfsutils</a> show 1625 Debian installations or 0.84% of +the population.

The package is again in +the NEW queue. Several uploads have been rejected so far because the +debian/copyright file was incomplete or wrong, but there is no reason +to give up.
