    I have no problem providing source code. Based on my interpretation OF GPLv3 I could just add a pointer in the beginning of the pdf to a github repo containing the LaTex source code. Link: gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.en.html Commented Mar 18, 2022 at 12:45
  • I assume attributation doesn't make them an author of the book? I know it makes the owner of their parts and code contributor, but does contributor = author? Commented Mar 19, 2022 at 6:11

    @DevonOliver Providing proper attribution to the copyright owners of the code you are showing does not make them co-authors of your book. I know what a contributor in a software project is, but I don't think the same concept applies to authorship of a book. Commented Mar 19, 2022 at 13:59
