My goal in restricting authorship to LPI certified individuals is an
attempt to lend credibility to the guide. This guide is designed to help
candidates study for the LPI exams. A person studying for an LPI test
will probably put more trust in someone who has already passed the exams
than someone who has not. However, I have updated the license to a
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license with no additional
restrictions.
