+"This edition of <citetitle>Free Culture</citetitle> is the result of three "
+"years of volunteer work. The idea came from a discussion I had around ten "
+"years ago with a friend about the copyright debate in Norway, and how rarely "
+"the difficulties of long copyright made it into the public debate. A bit "
+"more than three years ago I finally had a look again at the idea and decided "
+"to publish a printed Norwegian Bokmål version of <citetitle>Free "
+"Culture</citetitle>, translated and formatted by volunteers. The new "
+"English edition is a by-product of the translation process."

+"Thanks to the Debian Edu / Skolelinux project, I already had experience "
+"translating Docbook documents, and it seemed like a good format for this "
+"book too. I found a Docbook formatted version of the book created by Hans "
+"Schou. Initial testing showed lots of Docbook validation errors in this "
+"version, but after some work I was able to transform it to PDF and EPUB. "
+"This was the start of the translation project. The Docbook file improved "
+"over time, and build rules were added to create both English and Bokmål "
+"versions. Finally, a call for volunteers went out to help me with the "
+"translation."

+"Several people joined, and Anders Hagen Jarmund, Kirill Miazine, Odd Kleiva, "
+"Kjetil Kilhavn og Kjetil T. Homme assisted with the initial translation. "
+"Ralph Amissah and his SiSu version provided index entries. Morten Sickel "
+"and Alexander Alemayhu helped with the figures, redrawing some of the "
+"bitmaps as vector images. Wivi Reinholdtsen, Ingrid Yrvin, Johannes Larsen "
+"and Gisle Hannemyr did very valuable proofreading. Håkon Wium Lie helped me "
+"track down a good replacement font without usage restrictions instead of the "
+"one in the original PDF. The PDF typesetting is done using dblatex, which "
+"we selected over the alternatives thanks to the invaluable and quick help "
+"from Benoît Guillon and Andreas Hoenen. Thomas Gramstad donated ISBN "
+"numbers needed for distribution to book stores. Marc Jeanmougin from the "
+"inkscape community helped me replicate the original front cover. The "
+"support of Lawrence Lessig helped me to complete the project—I am very "
+"thankful he had the original screen shots still available after 11 years."
