Subject: Member news: Prepaid license to XSL books sold to U.S. Government employees
All U.S. Government employees benefit from license of XSL electronic books Ottawa, Canada - Monday June 9, 2003 - Crane Softwrights Ltd. (Kars, ON, Canada) today announced the sale to the U.S. Government of a worldwide department-wide employee-only license to two of Crane's electronic books sold as extensively hyperlinked PDF files. These books cover the W3C Extensible Stylesheet Languages (XSL/XSLT/XSL-FO). The standard prepaid employee license does not include redistribution or mass printing to any party. Government contractors and other non-employees are specifically not included and would need to obtain their own licenses if desired. Kathryn Holman, President of Crane Softwrights Ltd. remarked "We are very pleased to be in a position to make these works freely available to all U.S. Government-employed staff across all departments. We have taught our training courses to a number of U.S. Government groups and were aware of the interest out there in many departments for the reference material upon which the training has been based". G. Ken Holman, CTO of Crane Softwrights Ltd. added "We anticipate the two electronic books Practical Transformation Using XSLT and XPath and Practical Formatting Using XSL-FO to become essential reference materials to government employees in their work with XML and XSL technologies. Our other customers have seen big benefits having a local electronic copy on each employee's machine, hyperlinked within the pages and directly out through a web browser to the W3C Recommendation documents". These electronic publications are now available from a U.S. Government password-protected Intranet site. Please see http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/links/usgov-press1.htm for updates on where these materials are available and for a list of companies who have publicly recorded that they have also purchased a world license.

Goldfarb Definitive XML Series of books published as Prentice Hall Professional Technical References: Definitive XSLT and XPath (ISBN 0-13-065196-6) and Definitive XSL-FO (ISBN 0-13-140374-5).
