Please add a license so that we know what we are allowed to do with the book source. As it stands, without a license, the only thing we are legally allowed to do is read the source files.

If that is your intention, I am totally fine with that and will suggest to my students that they purchase it on Amazon (as I did.)

But, the fact that you put it up on GitHub in a publicly accessible repo, with a build script, makes me wonder if you intended for people to build their own copy for their own use. If that is the case, may I suggest that you put a license on it that makes that clear?

Assuming that you do not want anyone else selling the book, I suggest CC-BY-NC-ND if you don't want others to be able to modify and redistribute it, or CC-BY-NC-SA if you want to allow others to modify and redistribute it.

Thank you for considering this.

Hi Karl - Thanks. This was originally written as a textbook for my own class and I just didn't think to add a license. And as you can see from the commit history, I haven't really thought about it in a while.

There is a pre-built PDF available free here: https://github.com/laboon/software-testing Please feel free to distribute that to your students, if they don't want to mess with building their own PDF from scratch.

I'll add the CC-BY-NC-SA license to the repo this evening.

Additionally, you may want to check out some of the course repositories for exercises etc. Spring 2019 was the last course I taught, but it was in Ruby ( https://github.com/laboon/CS1632_Spring2019 ). If you would prefer exercises in Java, the last course I taught with that was Fall 2017 ( https://github.com/laboon/CS1632_Fall2017 ). If you want any of the raw slide decks or anything else from the courses I taught, I am happy to share if I can still find them, just let me know.
