It could be worth crowdsourcing historical success in getting publishers to agree to open licenses. (For instance Dariusz' tidbit of MIT Press.) I'll add that Morgan & Claypool is more open than some (though that publisher is not relevant to all AoIR-related fields).

they definitely "should" in an ideal world - when I was going to publish "Common Knowledge? An Ethnography of Wikipedia", I negotiated long and hard with Stanford University Press to use GPL at least some time after the publication... To no avail. This is one of the reasons why I'm going to go with MIT Press as my first choice, then next time I have a book to publish. Back then, I was time-pressed to go with any prime publisher :(

Congratiolations!
I wonder if books about Wikipedia should be free and open under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CCBYSA> (CC-BY-SA) like all Wikipedia's articles...

Hi!
This could be of interest to some of you.
My book Wikipedia, Work and Capitalism (Palgrave Macmillan) has finally been published online (the hardcover will be out within weeks). It situates Wikipedia and peer production within a Marxist perspective on cognitive capitalism, and uses ideology analysis to study the Wikipedians' perceptions of their own activities as well as their understanding of the project's relation to capitalism.
If it sounds interesting you can have a look here: http://www.springer.com/gb/book/9783319506890?wt_mc= ThirdParty.SpringerLink.3.EPR653.About_eBook#
All the best,
