Yes, you can take the HTML that is available online or the markdown source in this repository and make your own PDF. Or any other format.

Yes, you can take the HTML that is available online or the markdown source in this repository and make your own PDF. Or any other format. Please be aware that while it's technically possible to game the LeanPub system to produce the PDF or other formats, I ask you as a personal favour to find another way to make a PDF. The license permits this choice, but IMO it is contrary to the spirit of sharing and openness to use their resources and work to do something that isn't aligned with their mission.

It's all good, just follow the [license terms][license]. It is technically possible to create an identical clone of the book on LeanPub. I do not prohibit this activity, but I do ask you as a personal favour to ask yourself whether you could do *even better*, for instance to add value by adding your own annotations, expansions, and commentary. I'd love to see an "Annotated JavaScript Allongé."

I'd also love to see translations, editions with large print, or anything else that brings something new to the world. Many people have asked for a hard-copy version. Who will be the first to set up shop on lulu.com?
