Please limit your line length to 80 characters or less, preferably
about 72.
Not all digital books have restrictions. The PDF drafts of the
C standard, particularly n1256.pdf and n1570.pdf, have no DRM
restrictions. My PDF copy of the ISO C11 standard, which I paid
for, does have some kind of DRM (my reader says it's password
protected, but I've never been prompted to enter a password),
and the bottom of each page says its licensed to me personally.
I'm able to copy-and-paste from it. I did have to agree to some
terms when I bought it, but those terms are not directly enforced.
