+ About this edition
+
+This edition of Free Culture 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 Free Culture, 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 and
+Odd Kleiva 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 and Johannes Larsen
+did very valuable proofreading. HÃ¥kon 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. 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.
+
+
+
+I am also very grateful for my family for their patience with me in
+this project.
