I believe it is under the free document license.  I'm gona preorder
also.  Besides holding it in your hands it is nice to give back to
Matthias Warkus (not to mention the translators) who did an excellent
job getting this book out.  I talked to him on IRC awhile back and he
didn't seem to be making that much money off the book.  I've been
waiting to get my hands on it ever since.  Perhaps the English release
will get him enough money to consider doing a second edition ;-)
