Suggested book no longer free #4

The link to Introduction to Algorithms leads to a page where we can buy the book in various formats or rent the book for a fee. It seems there's no free version. I suggest updating the text or possibly linking to an older, free version of it if there is one available.

I was able to just google the title+.pdf and found several copies. I'm claiming complete ignorance to the legality but i'm only using the knowledge for open-source projects..

Yikes. You are absolutely correct. I'll edit to say that you should buy it. Thanks.

@newswim "but i'm only using the knowledge for open-source projects.." This guy also thought it's OK to use it "only" for personal projects, but the author doesn't seem to agree with him: You received stolen merchandise. You seem to have justified it to yourself because you "hate ebooks." It is not my forgiveness that you need. - Thomas Cormen

You're right! I ended up buying a copy.
