Hi, is it legal for you to put this copyrighted book in this repository and online here https://cpp-primer.pages.dev/ ? Has its copyright expired or what?

Well, apparently no. This only serves as a repo for my own use. I own a legit hard copy but I don't want to carry it when I commute.

I'm quite surprised that the repo suddenly went somewhat viral these days, given it has been here for a long time. I do have the same concern, so I may consider making the repo private and hosting the page on a private server, which is only visible to myself.
