These were originally published by Addison Wesley in the 1960's.

Assume Feynman had the copyright.

Feynman ended his career teaching at Caltech.  Wonder what arrangement
allowed them to post up his content, on a free website?

1. Caltech made a free website of the classic textbooks "The Feynman
Lectures on Physics"

2. dev in Singapore writes script to put it on his Kindle, puts script
(not the content) on Github

3. DMCA fireworks ensue

I think there are interesting questions here for liblicense relating
to the sort of business models that are good or bad practice for open
access resources.
