Winter Kills is a triumph of the free software/free culture movement. The book was
written, edited, and typeset in OpenOffice.org Writer on machines
running the Debian and Ubuntu distributions of GNU/Linux. The front
cover features a photograph posted to Flickr by Chris Darling under a Creative Commons license and an icon from the Tango project, also released under a Creative Commons license. The text is set in
Victor Gaultney’s beautiful and versatile Gentium Book Basic font,
which is provided under the generous SIL Open Font License, and the
title font is Ray Larabie’s excellent Glazkrak. To carry on this
spirit of free software/free culture, Winter Kills itself is released under a Creative Commons license (see the copyright page for details).

My deepest appreciation goes to developers of free software and
supporters of free culture and independent media everywhere, and to
those who tolerate and humor me in my pursuit of writing things worth
reading.
