Why only some of my books are available under Creative Commoncs License?

I am making my books available under Creative Commoncs License whenever I can. The licence terms allow you to reprint any of the texts if your publication is not commercial. In other cases, please contact me at manovich at uscd dot edu.

Why are not all my books are freely available? The promotion for humanities faculty at US universities requires publication of books with academic presses. In the last few years, a few authours were able to negotiate making their books available under CC license. I have used CC license for my latest book Software Takes Command (2008). However, this option was not available earlier when I was publishing “Textura: Russian Essays on Visual Culture” (Chicago University Press, 1993) and “The Language of New Media” (The MIT Press, 2001).
