Yes, code is BSD licensed.

The NC part was mostly to avoid having someone to sell the book on some platform without my knowledge.

I'm not addressing the issue of whether you receive compensation for your work or your desire to have control over who copies it.

I'm pointing out that you've stated it's "open access" without making it open access, at least for a strict interpretation of open access.

this is not the (common) interpretation of open access, which usually means, "no paywall".

I'm using default python mode actually (no elpy, no lsp) and emacs python configuration is maybe 3 or 4 lines.

Make sense, cheers from an American scientist ! I purchased the hard copy despite it being from Amazon, although I understand the logistics at play there.

J'étais à Polytechnique à Paris pendant deux ans, j'aimerais que les Américains soient aussi au logiciel "Open Source" que les Français

I tried to avoid Amazon and even found a French printers but the mailing costs were too high outside Europe.

One of the reasons why we do it is that we don’t have the same funding lying around. And also a different attitude towards intellectual property and a strong dislike of being effectively hostage of a for-profit software company. At least that’s the feeling around here (not X, but close enough to meet people there for lunch :) ).

It is still more difficult than we’d like to get funded for Open Source development (as a non-CS scientist), but there have been some encouraging noise recently, and some political will to reduce our reliance on black-box commercial software.

Thanks!

Thank you for this:

and your other interesting projects.

Fantastic work!

For those interested, the results of the challenge are published here: https://rescience.github.io/read/ (volume 6, issue 1).

Thanks, I'll look into that and it would make sense t ohost it on github.

Thanks all. There is a new and ongoing book project at https://github.com/rougier/scientific-visualization-book

Yes, sorry for that. The post on hacker news put our server under some stress.

Thanks.
