One publisher in 2001 had the idea they would make their line of ebooks really popular if they started it with my biography. So they found an author and the author asked me if I'd cooperate, and I said &ldquo;Only if this ebook is published without encryption, without DRM&rdquo;. The publisher wouldn't go along with that, and I just stuck to it&mdash;I said no. Eventually we found another publisher who was willing to do this&mdash;in fact willing to publish the book under a free license giving you the four freedoms&mdash;so the book was then published, and sold a lot of copies on paper.
