    O'Reilly Articles Released To The Community

    I've now released the following four articles under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 License:
    • Understanding ActiveRecord, Part I
    • Understanding ActiveRecord, Part II
    • Rails Testing: Not Just For The Paranoid
    • How To Build Simple Console Applications With Ruby and ActiveRecord

    My draft copies are at home, so I'll post them some time later this week, but you're now officially free to do as you wish with these works, providing you follow the very permissive terms of the CC/SA license.

    All code samples should be considered released into the Public Domain, which means you may do whatever you wish with them, though attribution would be nice.

    I will try to release whatever articles I write under CC/SA when I can. Please keep in mind that O'Reilly contributors sign 30 day exclusive publishing agreements, so if in the future you'd like to do something with one of my articles before 30 days from publishing, I'll have to get permission from my editor (who may need to go get permission from someone else, I don't know). However, Once 30 days are up, I can make decisions about the licensing of the work, and will always err to the side of free documentation unless there is some reason I can't.

    I hope that folks find this helpful, and please do share with me any interesting changes you make (translations, additions, code modifications, etc). Enjoy!
