- <title>About this edition</title>
- <para>
-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.
- </para>

- <para>
-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.

- <para>
-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.
- </para>

- <para>
-At the end of the project, when the translation was done and it was
-time to publish, NUUG Foundation was asked and was willing to sponsor
-books to members of the Norwegian parliament and other decision
-makers.

-In addition to these great contributors, I am very grateful to Mari
-and my family for their patience with me in this project.
