I think its legal

Otherwise, a mod should have come and deleted it be now (I'm using PA to see if its legal and hiding my intent behind a post [hee hee hee]...)

... I saw this post on

...

I saw this post on Thursday... and bookmarked it.

The next day, (Friday) on the bus... Morgan (Teaching him how to program) came on with the same exact book...

I was speechless...

Isn't that ironic?

Anyway... the CD I looked at the book and found that the CD is licensed GPL (YAY)... And it's just a installer for Dev-C++ by BloodShed.

If you look closely at the pdf's url you'll find that the pdf is an attached file to one of the site's comments.
