OpenStax
OpenStax (formerly OpenStax College) is a nonprofit ed-tech initiative based at Rice University. Since 2012, OpenStax has created peer-reviewed, openly licensed textbooks, which are available as free downloadable PDFs, web versions, audiobooks[1] and for a low cost in print. All textbook content is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Licenses; specifically, the books are available under the CC BY license (except for American Government 4e and Calculus, which is CC BY-NC-SA), which means that instructors are free to use, adapt, and remix the content, as long as they attribute OpenStax.[2]
