Endangered Species Condoms 61

The Center for Biological Diversity wants to help put a polar bear in your pants with their endangered species condom campaign. They hope that giving away 100,000 free Endangered Species Condoms across the country will highlight how unsustainable human population growth is driving species to extinction, and instill the sexual prowess of the coquí guajón rock frog, nature's most passionate lover, in the condom users. From the article: "To help people understand the impact of overpopulation on other species, and to give them a chance to take action in their own lives, the Center is distributing free packets of Endangered Species Condoms depicting six separate species: the polar bear, snail darter, spotted owl, American burying beetle, jaguar, and coquí guajón rock frog."

About a year ago I paid for Crossover Pro, and was surprised: Crossover Games is included. I just checked: in My Downloads I can download CrossOver Linux Standard 9.0.0, CrossOver Linux Professional 9.0.0, and CrossOver Games Linux 8.1.4 . So, pay for the Pro and you have everything.

What about something like this:

***Network Theory Ltd - publishing free software manuals **
http://www.network-theory.co.uk/

Before buying a hard copy of one of the book they published (GNU Octave Manual) I consulted free online version of the book many times. I understand that your book is not a software manual. But maybe there are other publishers who do it like Network Theory Ltd.
