This Book is Free

This book started out as bits of documentation written by Subversion project developers, which were then coalesced into a single work and rewritten. As such, it has always had the same free, open-source license as Subversion itself. In fact, the book was written in the public eye, as a part of Subversion. This means two things:

• You can always find the latest version of this book in Subversion's own source tree.

• You can distribute and make changes to this book however you wish it's under a free license. Of course, rather than distribute your own private version of this book, we'd much rather you send feedback and patches to the Subversion developer community. See Section 8.6 to learn about joining this community.

A relatively recent online version of this book can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com.
